At age six, Tina and her parents moved to Inwood, IA, where her father was called to pastor Inwood Christian Reformed Church. Tina attended Inwood Christian School from 1st to 8th grade. In her freshman year, Tina and her family moved to Orange City, where her father serves as pastor of Calvary Christian Reformed Church.
