Biography of the Amazing Race Winner and Dan Abrams Wife"},"content":{"rendered":"
Florinka Pesenti is an American communications guru, publicist extraordinaire, and former reality star best known as the first woman to win the ABC reality TV show, Amazing Race.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The last time TV audiences saw Florinka Pesenti, she was making waves as the first lady to win Amazing Race.<\/em> It is nearly 20 years since that triumphant run and Pesenti has gone on to build a formidable career as a communications guru and publicist extraordinaire, specializing in the apparel and fashion industry and working for big brands such as Gucci and Ralph Lauren.<\/p>\n Pesenti is in a thriving relationship with ABC chief legal correspondent, Dan Abrams. The two have been together for more than a decade now and have two children together. It has certainly been a long time since Pesenti was on The Amazing Race<\/em> but if her personal and professional life is anything to go by, she has been a raving success since we last saw her on TV.<\/p>\n Pesenti originally studied psychology in school before moving into the P.R. and communication industry. One would always wonder what made her do so and the answer may lie in her background.<\/p>\n Born on the 17th of January 1979 in Milan, Italy, the 40-year-old Florinka Pesenti is the daughter of a photo editor named Ilike (mother). Her father, Roberto, on the other hand, worked as a bureau chief for an Italian newspaper. The young Florinka spent the first five years of her life in Milan.<\/p>\n She and her parents, as well as a younger brother named Viktor subsequently relocated to the state of New York in 1984 and settled down on the Upper East Side which is where she largely grew up.<\/p>\n Thanks to their parents’ thriving careers, Florinka Pesenti and her younger brother lived a very comfortable life. Florinka for instance attended a pricy elite private school known as Fieldston Ethical Culture School. She made the most of her time there and was able to finish with good grades which helped her get into the prestigious private liberal arts college, Vassar.<\/p>\n At Vassar, Pesenti majored in psychology. She subsequently followed her parents\u2019 footsteps into the media industry. She spent a few months as an associate at Glamour Magazine before Amazing Race came calling in August 2002.<\/p>\n\n
