Desiree grew up in Southern California before moving to Wisconsin at the age of nine. With a life full of adventure—living in seven different states and over 30 houses—Desiree has a unique ability to connect with everyone she meets. She fell in love with dentistry because it allows her to help people while celebrating something she’s always admired: a great smile!
