Spent the last couple of years in Seattle working as a surgical assistant at an oral/maxillofacial surgery practice. I used to be an avid soccer player and twice got to travel with my club team to play in an international tournament in San Sebastian, Spain. I enjoy naps and long, romantic walks to the fridge.]]> 2017-06-08 02:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kbonnin/orientation2017/wish/175660867 https://padlet.com/kbonnin/orientation2017/wish/175661330 Grew up in Moses Lake, WA.

I went to Michigan State University and majored in Kinesiology and health promotion and absolutely loved it! I enjoy hiking, working out, and traveling. Most recently traveled all over Italy before starting school. Iceland and Thailand are next on my list (good use for loan money?) Going to be an adventure getting used to the heat, compared to MI where it is winter half of the year. Below is a photo of me enjoying some Italian 'Za.
