Tenku received dharma transmission and became a lineage holder in the Tessai Yamamoto/Tetsugyu Ban Roshi lineage in 2010. Born in Northern Florida, Tenku attended Davidson College, where she received a Bachelor of Arts in English literature. In addition, she holds a Master of Divinity from Maitripa College, and she is a Board Certified Chaplain (BCC) with the Association of Professional Chaplains.
