SPOTLIGHT: Tiana Cabiero joins CVHEC team

Joining the Central Valley Higher Education Consortium core team is Tiana Alexis Cabiero, who was named the consortium’s full-time administrative specialist effective Sept. 14.

An experienced professional in medical administrative services, Cabiero oversees and provides high-level support in all consortium administrative needs, budgeting and special events/meetings under the supervision of Ángel Ramírez, CVHEC associate director. She will also provide support to Dr. Benjamín Durán, CVHEC executive director.

A native of Fresno and an alumna of Clovis Community College, Cabiero aligns closely with CVHEC’s mission of making higher education more attainable in the Central Valley.  She is a first-generation college student who encouraged her mother to finish her associates degree and pursue her juris doctorate.  Tiana plans to continue her education journey as well with her sights set on a J.D. also or a Master’s of Business Administration.

Prior to her role at CVHEC, Cabiero holds an esthetics license with seven years of experience. She worked in plastic surgery/aesthetics for four years before switching to higher education.

In her personal time, Cabiero visits the gym or spends time with her nephew, Chandler.  She enjoys traveling, jet-skiing at Millerton Lake with her family, and being a mom to her two black cats, Barbie and Miu Miu.

“Tiana has only been with us a short time, but you wouldn’t know it by the way she’s jumped in,” Ramirez said. ‘She’s detail-oriented, positive to work with, and she’s picking things up fast. We’re glad to have her on the team.”

She replaces Priscilla Arrellano who moved to Los Angeles to be with family and pursue other career opportunities.
