Brandi Hensley

PA

Brandi grew up in Central City, Nebraska, as the oldest of six children. She said she was always the “caretaker” of the family. Brandi graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan University with a bachelor’s degree in biology and a minor in psychology and attended UNMC, where she earned a master’s degree in Physician Assistant studies.

Her first job as a PA was in Oncology, and she ended up spending ten years in that specialty, which she absolutely loved. She also worked in bone marrow and solid organ transplant, as well as transplant ID at UNMC for ten years, which she loved, as well. Her family moved to New Haven, Connecticut, for a while, and she worked at Yale in New Haven in Oncology. Upon return, she began working in Psychiatry, which she feels is a great fit for her! 

She really enjoyed her psychiatry rotation at the Veteran’s Hospital, sparking an interest in psychiatry that never went away. She enjoys taking the time to really get to know and understand her patients and how their past experiences help shape their lives. 

Some of her hobbies include sports (she loves all sports, but some of her favorites include Cubs baseball, Broncos football, Husker volleyball and football, and the College World Series), spending time with her husband and children, exercising and the outdoors, traveling, and going to concerts, museums and plays.
