Hey, I’m Des.
Whatever you got, I can handle it.
Who am I
I am 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, I grew up in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado, producing my 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 me realize a longing and love for the arts.
As a thrill-seeker with a tendency for solid ground, I took on a double major in acting and business. After going to school year-round, I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Northern Colorado with a B.S. in Business and B.A. in Theatre.
Prior to acting, I was a professional fundraiser for non-profit arts organizations for over 10 years. When I’m not on set, I help other creatives navigate the finances of a freelance life through my money coaching and bookkeeping business.
