Desirée Mee Jung (Des) is an Asian-American actress born Kim Mee Jung in Seoul, South Korea. Adopted at the age of two by an energetic Sicilian mother and structured German father, she grew up in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado, producing her own musicals for family and friends, playing the viola and every sport imaginable. Originally planning to become a reconstructive surgeon, it was taking four science classes at once in high school that made her realize a longing and love for the arts.
As a thrill-seeker with a tendency for solid ground, Desirée took on a double major in acting and business. After going to school year-round, she graduated summa cum laude from the University of Northern Colorado with a B.S. in Business and B.A. in Theatre.
Prior to acting, she was a professional fundraiser for non-profit arts organizations for over 10 years. When she’s not on set, she is helping other creatives navigate the finances of a freelance life through her money coaching and bookkeeping business.
