Alicia Perez was born in the Midwest but considers the high-desert mountain majesty of northern Nevada her real home. She comes to HSN a seasoned television host, having experience presenting the news, independent TV shows and most recently, fine jewelry. Alicia is passionate about jewelry and not just selling it on air – she is studying to become a Graduate Gemologist through the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).

A nature enthusiast, Alicia camps, hikes, scuba dives and goes fishing for fun and recreation. She enjoys quiet nights at home with her family, all of them making dinner together and watching movies. A genuine cat lady, Alicia loves playing and snuggling with her two cats, Tristen and Socks. In fact, if she wasn’t at HSN, Alicia would open a non-profit rescue haven for cats (she is currently a cat-rescue volunteer)!
