Tina Medrano

We’re not sure what it says about our industry that Tina started out studying psychology at college before deciding that she preferred a career in hospitality, but we sure are happy to have her. A proud grandma with decades of experience building brands, she’s the perfect person to be charged with guiding and developing the next generation of leaders here at Upward. But if she had her druthers, leave it all behind to open a dog rescue and spend her days hanging out with four-legged friends.
