Lashana
Lashana is our full-time receptionist at Okun Orthodontics. She is a graduate of New Rochelle High School and is a Certified Home Health Aide. She is a mother of two girls, and in her spare time she writes poetry, draws, and plays with them. She has work experience as an expeditor and as an administrtive assistant at an insurance company. She does volunteer work at the New Rochelle Public Library, The Sound Shore Medical Center, at Faith Temple Church of God & Christ, at homeless shelters in the Bronx, and plans family events in her community. She joined our office because she wanted hands-on experience in running a new type of small business for her. “I love working with Dr. Okun and enjoy meeting all the happy patients and parents that are satisfied with her outstanding work.”
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.
