With native roots in Northern Virginia, Dr. Van grew up with a dentist mom and physician dad. Throughout her childhood, she observed them wearing multiple hats as parents, entrepreneurs and educators. She had begun her studies in math and engineering but then was inspired to pursue a career in health science when she realized she wanted to work and build relationships within the local community.  In 1992, she received her Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics at George Mason University. She then went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the Medical College of Virginia in 1996.
