Who is Davina Thomasula?
Davina is well-versed in the best of New York, from its neighborhoods and architecture to its gastronomic and nightlife enterprises. She delivers a unique perspective and talents to her clients, opening their eyes to new real estate and lifestyle prospects, thanks to her expertise in hospitality, breadth of knowledge, and contacts! Davina, a real estate agent, will feature in 'Small Town Potential'. The agent attended Florida International University from 1999 to 2002, where she studied communications and broadcast journalism. She has a bachelor's degree in journalism, as well as minors in marketing and psychology.
Davina began her career at Park Bar, which helped her become one of the top 10 finalists of New York's Best Bartender in 2015. Davina began working as a VP of Culinary, Food, and Drink Talent at Forknplate.com in 2013 and worked there for seven years before transitioning to real estate. She worked for Keller Williams in New York for two years before founding Goodnight Kenny, a neighborhood pub in Poughkeepsie. Davina had always wanted to run her pub. She was able to realize her ambition after 15 years of bartending in New York City. Last year, Davina launched Goodnight Kenny on Poughkeepsie's Academy Street. Davina and co-owner Megan Giometti, who owns three bars in New York City, want it to become the neighborhood bar and named it after her musician father.
