TEAM • Gina MontesGina Montes
Guest Coordinator, also known as the Team's Chief Day-Maker
Gina has spent many years doing what she loves most: working with guests and making their day. As a Guest Coordinator, she's often the first warm face you meet, and she believes that helping someone smile can change their whole outlook—a glorious thing, in her words. That belief shapes every interaction, from a first hello to a comfortable goodbye.
Outside the office, Gina's heart belongs to her family. She's a mom, a grandmother to Armando (almost two and the smile that lights her up most), and a loyal friend—her best friend Nicole has been by her side for 30 years. She's recently gotten back into photography, which keeps taking her somewhere new, and she loves festivals, reading, and time with the people she loves. Guided by the idea of stepping forward with grit and anchored in grace, Gina brings warmth and resilience to everything she does at TDC.
Fun fact
I'm getting back into photography, and it keeps taking me to new places. I also make a really good salsa—it's a family recipe.
The TDC value that moves me
Community. This is a small town with big hearts, and getting to serve the people in it is the best part of the job.
My happy place in Turlock
Bistro 234, and honestly the whole community.
