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.
