Amy Corl Natoli
Senior Delegate - Charleston, SC
Originally from Ohio, I pursued my passion for dental hygiene at The Ohio State University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene in 1994. Since then, I’ve dedicated my career to clinical practice, with experience spanning from South Carolina to New York. My work primarily focuses on general practice, with enriching experiences in periodontics and pedodontics.
Driven by the challenges and my profound love for the profession, I became actively involved in our professional association. Beginning as the Secretary of the local Charleston component, I progressed to serving on the Symposium Committee at the state level, eventually assuming the role of Vice President. From 2019 to 2021, I proudly served as the President of the South Carolina Dental Hygienists’ Association and have represented South Carolina as a delegate to the American Dental Hygienists’ Association House of Delegates since 2022.
My commitment to continuous growth and leadership led me to be selected for prestigious opportunities such as attending the “Unleashing Your Potential” leadership workshop by ADHA in 2014 and serving on the Colgate Oral Health Advisory Board in 2016. In 2022, I was honored to be chosen for the inaugural Dental Hygiene Committee to serve the South Carolina Board of Dentistry. With a steadfast dedication to advancing our profession and enhancing oral health, I am continually inspired to contribute to the betterment of our dental community and the patients we serve.
