For the first issue of the spring semester, Blending presents a special double-alumni newsletter, featuring interviews with two of our FUA alumni. Our first alumna, Gina, was a valued contributor to Blending during her time at FUA. She caught up with the FUA Alumni Association to update us on what she has been up to since leaving Florence. FUA: Gina, tell us a bit about yourself and your time at FUA GV: My name is Gina Valentino. I am from Westchester County, New York. I graduated from the University at Albany with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism. I studied at Florence University at the Arts during the spring semester of my junior year at the University at Albany. More recently, I completed my career certificate in Visual Communications at FUA in a postgraduate program during the 2017-2018 academic year.
FUA: What are you up to now professionally? GV: I am a writer and editor for Today Media, which includes a monthly lifestyle publication called Westchester Magazine, as well as a quarterly business publication called 914INC. I write and edit the print and digital content on a wide range of subjects, including beauty, business, dining, style, and real estate.
