Fabiola Riobe is the Associate Provost of Academic Innovation, Online Education, and Global Opportunities at the State University of New York Rockland Community College (SUNY RCC). As an international researcher, expert, and education advocate, dignitaries, and executives across the world applaud her business acumen and academic accomplishments. In her previous role as the President of Community Colleges for International Development (CCID), she brought together some of the world's most leading education experts to foster the exchange of proven strategies and cultivate relationships within the education, business, and government sectors.

As a former Fulbright English Teaching Assistant award recipient, her passion for language instruction has gone unscathed. After leading many initiatives with the Educational Testing Service (ETS) enhancing educational technologies and language assessments, she migrated to North Africa. She was known there as "Madame Fabiola", the founding director and master teacher of the American Language Center of ELJ. She left a legacy that reinforced the relationship between the people of the Kingdom of Morocco and that of the United States of America through cultural exchange and language communities.

Raised in the outskirts of New York City, educated in Paris, Montreal, and Dakar, Fabiola has worked across the European and African continents. She has firsthand knowledge of the importance of technology and a global perspective in today's workforce and academic spaces. In her current role, Fabiola's rich multi-cultural heritage and blended family lineage are what fuels her passion for bringing about global competency in communities that need it most.
