Venture For America
Desi was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. She ended up finding herself at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor—where she majored in Economics. Throughout that experience, Desi developed a passion for quantitative analysis and financial/economic development. She aspires to be impactful and a part of a mission that creates more opportunity for underserved communities.
Desi loves to connect with people beyond the surface. From her experiences abroad, she has been able to see that there is more to who we are than what we may ever know. She is a deep-thinker and considers herself to be quite eccentric. Sometimes a conversation with Desi is more than just words—it is an experience. She is excited to get to know who people are and values the connections that come from it.

Venture For America is a two-year fellowship program for recent college grads who want to work at a startup and create jobs in American cities. Fellows learn important startup skills at our month-long Training Camp, apply for jobs within our vetted company network, and work for two years as full-time, salaried employees in one of 15 cities. When Fellows are ready to start a company—be it two years after college or ten—VFA has the resources (like a crowdfunding competition, accelerator, and seed fund) to help make that dream a reality.
