Dr. L received her Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Psychology from the University of Virginia. She continued her education and went to the University of Pennsylvania to pursue her dental and orthodontic training. Here, she met Dr. JV Kracke, and they were actually co-residents when she was working on her orthodontics degree. In fact, she and Dr. JV were both chief residents of their respective classes! Dr. Dan Bills even got the chance to work with Dr. L in residency when he came out to lecture.

She is American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) certified and a member of the New Jersey Dental Association (NJDA), American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), and the American Dental Association (ADA).
