Tammin was born on 19 August, 1983, in Johannesburg, South Africa, and her family moved to Australia when she was four years of age. Tammin is currently in Year 11 and studying by correspondence due to her Home and Away workload. Her favourite subjects are Art, Drama, English and History. Tammin studied drama at school and attended the Trinity Speech and Drama college of England where she received a high distinction in her final exam. Tammin has appeared in various commercials, including a youth and alcohol advertisement, and started modelling a year ago. This is, however, Tammin’s first television role and, while it was quite an audition process, Tammin is thrilled to join the show. 'I was so excited when I heard I got the part. I couldn’t quite believe it. I was absolutely speechless. This is something I have always wanted to do and thought if I didn’t make it soon I never would, so it came at a good time,' she says. Tammin plays Dani Sutherland, who moves to Summer Bay with her family from the city. Her parents, Rhys (Michael Beckley) and Shelley (Paula Forrest), want their children to have a better lifestyle, so they decide to move to a place with a slower pace. Dani has two twin sisters, Kirsty (Christie Hayes) and Jade (Kate Garven). Like all kids, this has been a major time for adjustment time for all the girls, having to leave all their friends behind and move to a place where everybody knows your business. The move seems to have affected Dani the most, as she has had to leave her boyfriend behind and her city lifestyle. Tammin says of her character, Dani Sutherland, 'I love playing her because she has a bit of an edge. She is the type of character that you can really get your teeth into. You couldn’t call her boring.
