MPIKC Member Spotlight - Mindi Johnson, Bayer Animal Health

Member Spotlight: Mindi Johnson, Bayer Animal Health

Farm gal from southeast Iowa. Moved to Texas after graduating college and worked in psychiatry for 10 years. My final psych job was at a maximum security psych prison in Lubbock, TX and after a year and a half decided that was not for me. Moved to Kansas and got into marketing and then meeting & events. Spent several years volunteering at Olathe East High School with Project Graduation and the OE Hawks Football team. I joined Bayer Animal Health in September 2015 and absolutely love life! Recently joined MPI and stepped into the new Community Service Liaison role.

Additional information: Enjoys volunteering with the First Downs for Down Syndrome organization and now added Operation Breakthrough to my list of favorites. **Don't forget to bring underwear and socks to our next monthly meeting**
