Moe Anderson
Anderson was born in Houston, Texas. Her family moved to Fort Worth, Texas when she was three-years-old. Upon graduation from O.D. Wyatt High School, she attended Baylor University earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in biology in 1984.
A classmate at Baylor gave her the nickname "mOe" because he could not remember her preferred pronunciation of mo-NEE-ka. While at Baylor, she followed in the legacy of her paternal grandmother and mother by becoming a member of Zeta Phi Beta sorority. She then entered dental school, graduating from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 1988 with a doctorate in dental surgery. While designing her first website, a graphic artist made a typo and the copy read "mOe" instead of "Moe". The unique lettering became part of her brand. Friends and family began calling her "Dr. mOe."
