Welcome Tina Ambrogi!
Tina became part of the team in November 2017. Tina grew up outside of Boston, shoveling snow, waiting tables and dreaming of better weather. After moving to California she worked for small companies in the medical, robotics, and financial fields.
Tina's love of Mountain View inspired her to open the Mountain View General Store, which for several years was the place to buy all things Mountain View. She is excited to begin this new adventure as the Office Manager & Community Ambassdor.
