City Manager Lori Ann Farrell Harrison has awarded the City Manager Leadership Award for the month of January to Recreation Supervisor Tiana Asmine.
“Since arriving in Costa Mesa in 2021, Tiana has been instrumental in helping to bring classes and events back to life after the pandemic when we needed it most,” Farrell Harrison said. “This award is proof that she is valued by her colleagues and I am grateful for her dedication to the public and her hard work does not go unnoticed.”
Asmine put in an extraordinary amount of time and effort into our rebranding and redesign of our Recreation Guide which is now known throughout the City as THE SPOTLIGHT!
She taught herself all aspects of the photoshop software to be able to enhance our magazine continuously. She also oversees the award-winning SMART camp program which is a partnership with the school district to contract with over 25 teachers to provide Sports, Music and Arts to over 400 Costa Mesa youth.
Prior to coming to Costa Mesa, Asmine worked in the City of Riverside, where she was a Recreation Coordinator overseeing contract classes, camps, and recreation center programs.
She has been working in recreation for the past 15 years at various agencies which include the City of Lake Forest and City of Fountain Valley, where she gained extensive experience in special events, youth programs, aquatics, facility rentals and contract classes.
She has her Bachelor’s Degree in Women’s Studies from Cal State Fullerton and is in the process of getting her Masters in Recreation Administration at Long Beach State.
