Tami Kinnunen
CSUF 2001
My name is Tami Kinnunen, I was born in Fresno, CA. I am the middle
child with one older brother and one younger sister. We are all Fresno State
graduates. I am the first nurse in my family. I received my BSN from
CSUF in 2001 and am currently working towards a Masters in Nursing at
CSUF in the FNP program. I worked for Clovis Community in Postpartum
and for the last 6 ½ years for the County of Fresno as a Public Health Nurse.
I have one son named Jak who is 4 years old.
I remember my first rotation in the nursing program at the Armenian Home.
A fellow student and I would look forward to our morning break when we
would have a piece of toast with the “mystery butter”. There was Marjean,
Carol Coppock, Janine Spencer, Dr. Oaxley, Andy at UMC ICU, Terea, and
the every challenging Sam ‘Scare you to death” Wilkerson, Nidi, and Dr.
Mathai.
