She especially loved tennis and played on the varsity tennis team at Brigham Young University in Hawaii In 2018, her uncle introduced her to the world of pickleball, and with her athletic background, Etta was a natural. In her first year playing professionally, Tuionetoa medaled in various events multiple times.
