Mareville

Practice Administrator

I was born and raised in the Philippines. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I worked as a teacher and a banker for 11 years. We moved to the USA in 2007 for a good opportunity for my husband’s career. I didn’t expect that I’ll be part of Dr. Kumra’s growing company. I’ve been working with him for 9 years now.

viviana - treatment coordinator

Viviana

Office Manager

I was born in Argentina, but my parents moved to Venezuela when I was 6 years old. I found my true passion in life when I worked as an orthodontist for more than a decade in Venezuela. Circumstances forced me to move abroad again, this time to Colorado, where I managed a day spa for years. When I became an empty nester, I moved to DC to be closer to my family. I love being in a big city with a lot of diversity and fun activities to do on the weekends.
