Aside from excelling in track, she also was part of North's cheerleading squad, becoming captain in her sophomore year. Bauman is an active member in several clubs at school, including the Steering Committee, Challenge Club, Student Council and both Math and National Honor Societies. Outside school, she is a very active member of the community, volunteering for the Amherst YES Program, Camp Good Days and Special Times, the Special Olympics, Maple West Elementary School, and Women and Children's Hospital, helping out in the oncology unit.

After graduation, Bauman hopes to attend the University at Buffalo and possibly major in medicine.
