The Full Story

Born and raised in Hebron, ND, I've always been drawn to an active lifestyle and social interactions. Following high school, I pursued a rodeo scholarship in Sheridan, WY, earning my associate’s degree in 2007. Transitioning to North Dakota State University, I continued my rodeo pursuits while interning and working for a financial advisor. In 2010, I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management.

After a brief stint at a bank, I embarked on a career with New York Life before founding Bauman Financial and establishing the Linton office in 2016. Our approach prioritizes client-centric financial strategies, focusing on personalized guidance rather than product-centric solutions. Once aligned with your financial objectives, we coordinate the execution of the chosen path.

I met my husband, Wayde, during my senior year of college, and after five years of dating, we were married in Medora in the fall of 2014. Our family has since grown to five with the additions of our sons, Britt in November 2018, Bear in June 2021, and daughter, Bradlee, in October 2023. Living on a ranch near Linton, ND, we relish family time, which often involves horseback riding, attending rodeos, enjoying homemade popcorn while watching movies, hosting gatherings, and savoring Wayde's culinary skills on the grill.  We're also avid supporters of local sports, cheering on the Linton Lions, and regularly attend collegiate-level events to support our nieces and nephews, as well as our alma mater, the NDSU Bison.
