Didn`t find a Tn, but there`s a Tm: Thulium, atomic number- 69, (now thats too easy!), but maybe they miss-spelled her name?

No. It is common in some country to use abbreviation of a person's name rather than simply initial. Especially when they only have one name. So, I suspect Tn is short for something like 'Tina'.
