Career

Gentzler began her career as the host of Georgia Public Broadcasting's weeknight show The Lawmakers, broadcast during sessions of the Georgia State Legislature, around 1979.

Gentzler first worked at Cleveland, Ohio's NBC affiliate WKYC-TV. There, she anchored the 6pm and 11pm newscasts. From 1979 to 1983, she co-anchored the 6pm and 11pm newscasts at WSOC-TV, the ABC affiliate in Charlotte, North Carolina. Next she worked at Philadelphia's WCAU-TV, which was then a CBS affiliate, on the crime beat.

Her reports have taken her around the world, including the Persian Gulf, Bosnia and Ecuador. Her health reports can usually be seen on News4 at 5pm, and other station newscasts. She is the on-air spokesperson for the station's successful NBC4 Health and Fitness Expo, held each January at the Washington Convention Center.
