Tiana Caputo
Office Administration

Tiana is the “face of Bonsella” as our receptionist. Tiana took over the role from her sister Renee over two years ago.

Tiana is a most valued team member who also keeps the office "fresh" with her fashion and music style. She's our in-house "Kardashian", without the scandal and gossip!
