Born and raised in Southern California, I'm a beach girl by heart taking on the city of Paris while over 5000 miles away from home. Nearly completing four years of study, I have a feeling that my life is just truly beginning and it's going to be one interesting story. My fragrance "T" is a collection of my college memories that embodies who I was and still am as I prepare for the next chapter in my life. I'm ready... are you?

I'm a lover of all things vintage, yet classic. From the way I dress down to the way I decorate my house. One of my favorite classic decor pieces is a 1960's Chanel No 5 bottle I found at a yard sale years ago. Although empty, it still has that amazing classic scent that every now and again, I find myself sniffing just so as to uplift my mood. I designed Lia in honor of the classics that I so dearly cherish.

I began to collect natural essential oils and creating perfume recipes/formulas, three years ago. But looking further back, I can recall the first perfume I created was when I was a teenager. It was a sassafras bouquet of sorts, almost grapy and jam-like. It was gorgeous and will forever stay with me as a memory. I hope to create more fragrances like this, and to bring back the scents of old that made our ancestors' lives more cheerful and healthy.

I'm an Allentown girl born and raised. I have two absolutely amazing daughters with several grandchildren who are my world. My husband has always and will forever be the rock I lean upon and we are just as much in love today as we were when we married 27 years ago. To me, Persuasion represents the timeless love between two people who were friends first before realizing how much they loved each other.

I grew up in Florida and when I was old enough, spent all of my summers helping my dad research animals of the ocean. I learned to snorkel early on in life, probably even before I knew how to crawl, so it was no wonder that I would naturally grow up to become a marine biologist. When creating my fragrance, the idea was to make something that represented a part of me each and every time I dove into the ocean. I'm always rendered Speechless from all the beauty and mystery that very few people will ever get to actually experience. So, I'm sharing that part of me... with you.
