Desiree received her Ph.D. from North Dakota State University in Human Development, M.S. from the University of Delaware in Human Nutrition and B.S. from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in Nutrition. She is currently an Associate Professor, Department Chair, and Program Director for the Coordinated Program in Dietetics and Human Nutrition programs at the University of North Dakota. She is a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified lactation counselor. Previously, she worked with the NDSU Extension Service, WIC in Elton, M.D. and DuPont Consumer Health in Wilmington, D.E. She was raised on a farm south of Palermo, N.D. where she learned to appreciate hard work, the importance of food production, and began to consider the role of food and nutrition in relation to health and disease. Her research interests have focused on nutrition during early childhood and prevention of chronic disease. She and her husband, Brian, have four children: Lucas, Joel, Gabriel, and Adrianna.   Hobbies include outdoors activities and adventures, baking, and reading!
