Dr. Desi Williams

Desi passionately believes that good things come to those who seize the day-and every opportunity. And her experiences have proven that opportunity combined with preparation create luck. Not blind luck, but instead purposeful luck created by growing, learning and connecting with people. From that philosophy alone, Desi has been met with great success.

Additionally, Desi served as Miss Virginia USA 2016 and finished as a Top Ten Finalist in the 2016 Miss USA Competition.
