Jennifer has been dedicated to dentistry since beginning her career in 2013, with the majority of her experience in oral and maxillofacial surgery. She began her career as an oral surgery assistant and, over the years, advanced into leadership roles including Practice Manager and Regional Operations Director, gaining extensive experience in patient care, team development, practice operations, and growth. Jennifer was part of the team when the practice first opened in 2015 and spent nearly a decade helping support its growth. In early 2024, she stepped away to explore other areas of dentistry, including working with dental charitable initiatives and Mission of Mercy programs. She later transitioned into the dental implant space, working in treatment sales and coordination, and helping patients navigate single, multiple, and full arch treatment. Ultimately, Jennifer's connection to oral surgery and her belief in Akeso's mission brought her back to where an important part of her career began. Today she manages one of the practice's locations, combining her clinical background, operational experience, and passion for patient care to create an environment where both patients and team members feel valued and supported. Outside of dentistry, Jennifer is a certified yoga instructor who loves reading, traveling, and finding new adventures with her dog, Louie.
