Desiree Otenti brings with her advanced practice nursing experience, deep knowledge of vulnerable populations, and management and insurance expertise.
Otenti studied biology in college, and when she graduated, decided to combine her passion for science with her life-long desire to help people. She continued her education and became a nurse practitioner. She started to practice at a fellow community health center, Boston Health Care for the Homeless. Here she gained a lot of medical experience and also got to know a very vulnerable population of patients. She later went back to school to study Public Health, focusing on policy and management.
