She learned her journalistic skills from scratch at a regional daily newspaper. Katja studied art history and Romance studies in Italy. The country was her teacher in things related to pleasure and lifestyle. She has been working for Cigar Journal since 2004. In 2010 she became editor-in-chief. However, her favorite place is not behind her desk, but in the cigar factories of the globe.
