Hi everyone, welcome to Kodiak. My name is Kathie Morin I was born and raised in Seward untill I left in 1984.

I have been at BridgeView Dental since June of 2015. I spend my time extra time doing voluntary activities when I can. I belong to the Lions Club and The Elks Lodge. Enjoying the beauty of Kodiak and going on long walks are some of things I like doing in my spare time.
Meet Kristen- Receptionist/Scheduling Coordinator
Hey Kodiak! My name is Kristen and I was born and raised in Anchorage, AK. I love Alaska, and all the adventures it has to offer. Being a member of the BridgeView team has been so much fun. I love getting to meet new people daily.
When away from the office, my time is spent with my husband, Hyrum, and five amazing children; four boys and a little girl. They keep me busy, but I love it. We spend our days soaking up the summer sun at the beaches, collecting sea glass, exploring new trails, and fishing at the river.
If I can sneak away for a little break, I’m usually going for a run, hiking, fishing, or getting a pedicure.

Hello everybody, I'm so happy to be back in Kodiak and grateful to be working with the Murdoch's in providing care for Kodiak. I began my career in dentistry as a patient, became an assistant and now have been a hygienist 30 years. Along the way I have pursued an understanding of whole body health through study of body work and acupuncture..
My best side is outside. Almost daily I am either walking, hiking, kayaking, or biking. A good book or good conversation can keep me couch bound. I have 3 happily sons that find me exhausting. Life is good and only going to get better.
