Fueled by her love for art and photography, she pursued studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia Italy before settling in New York City, where she forged a successful career as a professional artist and photographer. Steeped in the culture of fika - a social coffee break with a sweet treat - through the years, she now brings the art of blending coffee, conversation and culture to the CAFÉ at Kingston Social.
