She was baptized at age 8 1/2 but didn't become active in church until her junior high friends invited her to attend seminary. There she grew a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and started her faith journey.

Tennisa attended Ricks College and the University of Utah where she earned a bachelor's degree in Accounting.
