Co-Founder

My name is Desirae Currier and I am one of the Co-Founders of WINC Buffalo.

I’ve lived my entire life in Western New York. I grew up in Holland (about 40 miles south of Buffalo), and graduated from the State University of New York at Brockport with a Bachelor’s degree in Earth Science.

My ambitions have always been along the line of teaching and sharing, helping others do better in their own lives (except for a short stretch of time where I decided that I wanted to work with rocks because, well, they can’t talk back). This led me to develop a networking community specific to women, all while embracing the life of a single working mother.

My career path has been long and winding. I have experience in healthcare, sales, financial planning, customer service, record keeping, payroll, and a few other areas. What I appreciate most about my path is all the knowledge I have been fortunate to learn and the skills I have acquired. The most valuable of which are the ability to understand people, build great relationships, and communicate effectively.

Helping others and giving to my community is a large part of my life. In my previous career I participated with the Cheektowaga Chamber of Commerce, not only as a member but as a Chamber Ambassador to ensure my fellow Chamber Members had a voice and were engaged in their memberships. I have volunteered through Junior Achievement, and was awarded a community grant in 2018 for a beautification project at the elementary school in my hometown. I enjoy advocating for the success of others in my community.

If you have big goals and even bigger ambitions, I’d love to get to know you and see how I can help.
