Creative. Competitive. Compassionate. Confidently Herself
Magnolia "Nolie" Baum is an athlete, artist, adventurer, thrift-store treasure hunter and natural leader. She loves being part of a team, discovering something new and finding ways to make the people around her feel welcome.
She believes people should support each other for who they are, that it's okay to take time to solve a problem, and that a good leader isn't necessarily the loudest person in the room. She's thoughtful, opinionated, funny—and very comfortable being exactly who she is.
