Charlottesville Living - Pinky

Welcome back! In this episode, we sit down with the incredible Sonya—aka "Pinky" (though her mohawk is now blue)—to talk about her journey from punk rock barista to numbers wizard at UVA. We dive into her transition from 19 years at Mudhouse Coffee Roasters to finance, her bold personality, and the importance of being unapologetically yourself.

We also discuss Charlottesville’s charm, from its vibrant culture and kind people to its hidden gems like Burnham Wood. Plus, we share a local wine from Park Vineyard, answer some funny personality questions, and find out why Sonya would rename herself… Bob?!
