Getting to Know the PAC Team: Brandi Bain

Hello! I’m Brandi Bain and I have been with PAC for about 6 months. I grew up on a farm and ranch outside of Sharon Springs, Kansas.

Since I was young, I always wanted to have a profession in the dental field because the need for healthcare professionals was so great and I would get the opportunity to help people daily.

I attended Colby Community College followed by Fort Hays State University and graduated with a degree in Information Networking and Telecommunication with an emphasis in Television Broadcasting.

I had the time of my life in college playing volleyball for 4 years and meeting some of my life-long friends who I’m still close with today.

After graduating from Fort Hays, I got a call from the dental hygiene program in Colby that I was finally in the program after being on the waiting list for over 2 years.

My first job out of school was in Leoti, Kansas and then I moved to Lawrence, Kansas in 2012 to continue my career as a dental hygienist where I still work full-time.

I met Jackson, my wonderful husband, in Kansas City and we married 2 years later.

Jackson works for a finance company and enjoys playing basketball when he can.

Being brought up next to my family’s feedlot and my experiences in 4-H, beef production has been an interest of mine for many years.

I’m very thankful for the opportunity to work for this wonderful organization and I’m excited to continue to learn more and more!
