Employee Spotlight: Jordan

JordanJordan Norris joined DALKO on November 17th of last year as a billing representative, and has been an integral part in keeping DALKO’s billing department running smoothly.  Before joining DALKO she worked in the food service department of Sharon Regional Health System, which is ironic considering Jordon detests cooking.

Jordon grew up in Brookville, OH, but now lives in Hubbard, OH with her husband Benjamin and their three year old daughter Mariah.  They also just recently added a fourth member to the family when they adopted a kitten named Oreo.  In her spare time Jordan enjoys watching football and basketball, in particular the Pittsburgh Steelers and Boston Celtics.
