Hello, my name is Kaitlyn Bain. I'm from a small town in Casper, Wyoming where I attended Casper College for Business and Marketing. I've always been passionate about learning and development, which has played a significant role in my career in Human Resources. What really attracted me to Fine Line Marketing is the support system the company provides and allows you to achieve your personal and professional goals. My biggest motivation to continue to work hard is to be financially free and to be able to travel the world. Some of my personal interests are reading, being out in nature, hiking and kayaking.
