Desarae Holley

Background & Experience As a Community Engagement Specialist, I get to integrate my passion for community outreach with my years of experience driving impactful initiatives across the healthcare landscape. This passion helps me build meaningful partnerships and discover innovative resources to bridge gaps and enhance health outcomes. My dedication to equity and access is rooted in a career of collaboration, including nurturing the development of start up non-profits such as the National Native American Hall of Fame and creating cultural, health, and food sovereignty programs for Native communities. As a skilled organizer and communicator, it is my goal to empower others through strategic resource sharing and stakeholder collaboration. Away from my professional commitments, I am a proud mom of four and the wife of a military veteran. Ever the adventurer, after retiring from roller derby, I now channel my love of learning and movement into paddleboarding, skating, and outdoor exploration. I take every opportunity I can to connect with my family and nature.
