Co-Founder & Lead Strategist

As one of the founders of Love Bites, Stephanie leads the company’s expansion and growth strategy with vision and precision. She oversees the big picture — defining Love Bites’ goals, transforming them into actionable plans, and managing the team to deliver measurable results. From building relationships with retailers and driving sales, to guiding the team through key milestones, Stephanie ensures that every part of the business moves in harmony toward its mission.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Finance and Accounting from Virginia Tech’s School of Business, Stephanie brings a strong analytical foundation to her work. She not only leads strategy and operations but also handles the financial and reporting side of the company.

Stephanie draws deep inspiration from her roots. As a first-generation Iranian American, Stephanie witnessed first-hand the perseverance, creativity, and grit it takes to build a company from the ground up. That entrepreneurial spirit continues to drive her today as she leads Love Bites forward — with the same passion, determination, and belief that great things can grow from humble beginnings.

Co-Founder & Operations Lead

As the heartbeat of Love Bites, Taline oversees every part of daily operations — and often rolls up her sleeves to do it all. From baking each batch of treats by hand to developing new recipes, maintaining inventory, and fulfilling orders, she keeps everything running smoothly with passion and precision. Nothing at Love Bites happens without her touch.

Taline is the vision and driving force behind the brand — a passion that grew out of the love (and joyful chaos) of caring for her five dogs at home. Her dedication to creating wholesome, all-natural treats began in her own kitchen and evolved into a business built on hard work, consistency, and care.

A graduate of George Mason University with a background in Business, Taline brings both practical know-how and entrepreneurial spirit to everything she does. As a first-generation Armenian American, she draws inspiration from her family’s resilience and strong work ethic — qualities that continue to shape how she leads, creates, and pours her heart into every part of Love Bites.
