Kristen of Bridgeview Dental Group in Kodiak, AK

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.

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.
