Beyond the Office…
Tina’s story is anything but ordinary. Long before balance sheets and reconciliations, she stepped onto stages as a pageant contestant and local model, while also tutoring elementary
students in math, both helping fund her education and shaping her confidence early on. A natural competitor and quick thinker, she’s often tapped as a school representative for quiz bowls, where she’s known to bring home wins!
When she’s not deep in the numbers, Tina stays active with badminton and gym sessions, fueled by her unwavering devotion to iced Americanos. Her downtime leans delightfully dark and animated. She loves getting lost in books, horror movies, and anime binges. A proud Swiftie with a playful sense of humor. Tina also comes with one important footnote: bananas, pineapples, and peaches are strictly off limits.
