Tina was born on May the 8th 1987 in Southend on Sea. She grew up in Wickford with her parents and older brother in Essex. At the age of 10 she moved with her family to Hertfordshire where she attended Sheredes Senior School and then went on to take her A - Levels. Tina left school having gained 12 GCSE's, an AS - Level in Business Studies, 3 A - Levels in English Literature, Art and Media Studies and NVQ's in both ICT and Customer Services. Whilst attending 6th form Tina worked part time as a hairdresser and also gained an NVQ in Hair and Beauty.

Since graduating from school Tina intended to continue her studies and was due to take a 3year course in Social Work at Hertfordshire University. During that time she became a full time Key Worker, caring for adolescents and young children. Whilst working full time Tina came to realise that this wasn't the path she wanted to take and decided to change her career options and pursue her childhood dream of becoming a model. In 2007 Tina took a chance and began to pursue her ambition of a modelling career. Since setting aside her studies Tina has no regrets and has not looked back.
