I bring a life of varied experiences to my perfume making. I have a Master’s of Public Health from Columbia University. I have worked in health departments in New York City and in Vermont. Later, I gained notoriety making artisanal dairy products for some of the best fine dining establishments in the U.S. I wrote a cookbook, which will be heading for republication in 2025. After 25 years of running a dairy farm and a creamery, I sold my business in 2022. I am still based on my farm in the beautiful Champlain Valley of Vermont, which serves as a catalyst for much of my work.

I hope that my scents provide a gateway to experience olfactory pleasure and, through scent, visceral memories. As the renowned French perfumer, Jean-Claude Ellena once said, “Perfume is a story in odors, sometimes, a poetry of memory.”
