Jessica
Jessica was recommended to our office by an existing patient. She has experience in food service working as a barista in a bakery, a server and bartender in restaurants, and a server on a cruise ship in Hawaii. She and Dr. Okun have often noted the similarities between working in a kitchen and sterilizing instruments in our office. Jessica loves working in Dr. Okun’s office because it feels clean and calm, and because she is learning so much.
Aniah
Aniah joined our team in 2025 with experience as a dietary aide, a front desk receptionist, a food server, and a sales associate. She is a graduate of Zollicoffer High School in Mt Vernon, NY and attended Westchester Community College. She loves working at Okun Orthodontics where she can learn many new things and meet lovely people. She likes to read mystery books and her favorite color is purple. Aniah is currently working here part time while she pursues her education in Medical Billing.
Izzy
Izzy first came to our practice in 2017 as a patient. Her mother, a hygienist in a practice with whom we work closely, was so impressed Dr. Okun's work that she brought both of her children for treatment here. Based on her positive experiences in the office, Izzy agreed to join our office during her January term and summer vacations from college. She has many years of previous experience working in the same dental offices where her mother works.
Deborah
Deborah is a part time receptionist at Okun Orthodontics. She has a Masters in English from West Chester University in Pennsylvania and is a graduate of John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York where she completed a bachelor’s degree with a major in English and minors in Writing and Psychology. She is an adjunct professor of English composition at Penn State Brandywine, and works remotely part time in the writing centers of both West Chester University and John Jay College teaching English composition. She loves her part time work here, and would be doing this job even if Dr. Okun was not her mother.
