Hi, I’m Dr. Jen!

Helping others has always been at the heart of who I am, and becoming a certified orthodontic specialist has truly been a dream come true! My journey began with a positive experience as a young orthodontic patient, which opened my eyes to the unique blend of science and artistry that dentistry offers.

During college, I had the incredible opportunity to volunteer at the Craniofacial Anomalies Clinic at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. It was there that I saw firsthand the life-changing impact orthodontic care can have on both patients and their families. This experience not only deepened my passion for orthodontics, but also exposed me to the powerful intersection of medicine and dentistry in healthcare. It confirmed that this was the path I was meant to take. I continued to work with the clinic until my family and I moved to the DC area, and I feel truly grateful to have contributed to such meaningful work.

I’m proud to have taken the extra step of becoming board-certified — a distinction that reflects my commitment to excellence and to the people I care for. My patients truly feel like family, and it brings me so much joy to build lasting relationships while guiding them toward healthy, beautiful smiles.  

I’ve always had a genuine passion for learning and am constantly looking for ways to grow, both as a person and a professional. I truly enjoy pursuing continuing education, as it allows me to stay connected with the latest advancements in orthodontics, dental sleep medicine, airway health, facial growth and development, orofacial myofunctional therapy and TMJ treatment. This helps me provide thoughtful, personalized care that’s perfectly suited to each patient’s unique needs and goals.
