Dessire Sedano, Intake Coordinator

Dessire is the first point of contact for Spanish- and English-speaking community members seeking support navigating a serious illness or seeking bereavement support. Dessire has always been pulled to serve her community and has worked for several non-profits in the past, including the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics. Her heart was pulled towards HSB when she learned of the unwavering support HSB provides to individuals and families struggling with grief and illness. Dessire holds a B.S in Biology. In her spare time, Dessire enjoys being out in nature. You can find her hiking or at the beach with her pup.
