Tordin's parents, Fábio and Cristina, emigrated from Brazil to the United States in 2003.[3] She was raised in the Miami suburb of Doral, Florida, where she played soccer on boys' teams growing up because there was no nearby team for girls; at age 14, she joined a girls' team that was a 40-minute drive away.[2][4] She quit soccer for a year during high school before returning with her school team at Doral Academy and played ECNL club soccer for Sunrise Prime FC.[2][4]
