Jennifer

Financial Coordinator

Although Jennifer has only been in the dental field for two years, she has extensive customer service experience from her work as a tax preparer and bank teller. Jennifer loves working at Bright Star Kids Dentistry because the kids remind her of her own childhood experience in China.

She wants kids to see that going to the dentist can be fun too!
