She became a Certified Dental Hygenist with the ICO-ADIA organization in 2015 and moved to the Genoa area after graduation and started with Dr. Norwalk in 1975 at the age of 20. After over 40 years of working with Doc, as we call him, she considers her patients her family. Her favorite aspect of her job is swapping stories with her patients that she has known for decades and getting to know the new patients that she meets daily. Age is of no consequence to Carolyn, 3 to 100 she will take care of them and include them as her own dental family. She is passionate about educating her patients in their homecare and talking with them about the latest dental resource, however sharing jokes and life stories is why she has been a dental hygienist for all of these years. |

JENNIFER
Graduated from Edinboro University of PA in 2006 with an Associate of Science degree Early Childhood Education in Preschool Education. After 9 years of teaching preschool, I went to work at the Dental Center of Northwest Ohio. I had many jobs, but the one I enjoyed most was being the Prior Authorization Specialist. I enjoyed seeing our patients smile with the joy from getting ‘new’ teeth that enhanced their self confidence. I love the Dental Center and their purpose to our community. They serve those on limited income, veterans, the homeless, and most of all the children in their care.
I graduated from Cullman High School in Cullman, AL and I am a HUGE Alabama Crimson Tide fan! RTR!!!! I love elephants, turtles and most any animal, especially my Teakers! Teak is my best friend’s dog. I have 3 siblings (2 brothers and 1 sister) and 4 nephews that are my world! I enjoy cross stitching, knitting and crocheting to name just a few of my hobbies. I enjoy hanging out with my friends and spending time with them. I am on the Advisory Board for Genoa Assembly #107, International Order of Rainbow for girls (I.O.R.G.) and I love spending time with my girls and watching them grow into young ladies. I am also a part of Lotus Chapter #477, Order of Eastern Star in Perrysburg.
