Tiffany Baumann

After years traveling the world working as a model, actress, and singer, Tiffany Baumann, a former Miss Ohio, is no stranger to the Midwest. Born in Medina, Ohio, her parents then divorced when Tiffany was just a baby and with her mother and brother, they moved to Florida. Like many single-parented families, they struggled to make ends meet and by the time Tiffany graduated high school, she had been to 21 schools. At a very young age, Tiffany, and her soulful vocal talent, found comfort on the stage and discovered that performing was her destiny. She started out doing community musical theatre, then at 16, was offered a job by a Disney talent scout, and has been working professionally in the entertainment industry ever since. However, the constant travel never let her forget her roots. So, recognizing the value of education, Tiffany returned to Cleveland, Ohio.

Tiffany has worked consistently as a Ford Model; appeared in many magazines such as Men’s Health, as well as national ad campaigns like Colgate and Altoids; and has landed roles in TV and film working with such actors as Sally Field, Minnie Driver, Jenny McCarthy and Richard Kind, with national ad campaigns or Colgate and Altoids to name a few and has been seen on the E! Channel, The WB and Comedy Central. In addition, Tiffany’s infectious personality and relatable sense of humor has lead to various hosting jobs for many live and televised programs. And most recently, she’s incorporated her on-the-camera success and musical talent into other aspects of the motion picture business by composing, publishing and performing songs for feature films.

Despite her busy schedule, Tiffany has always remained committed to the art she considers her first true love -- singing. She has performed the National Anthem at many high profile sporting events including the US Open, Indy 500, Home Opener for Cleveland Browns, the Chicago Bears, and Cleveland Indians among others. She’s performed as a special guest at numerous prestigious venues ranging from Opryland to Ephesus. Tiffany considers her mother, a folk singer from Ohio, her musical inspiration; introducing her to such artists like Karen Carpenter, Queen, Chaka Khan and Nina Simone. “I had the privilege of being poor,” Tiffany often jokes, and it shows in her drive and ambition, appreciation for life and the passion in her voice.

When not performing she dedicates most of her time advocating for your volunteering and mentoring and is a community health advocate and has been on the National Speaker’s Bureau for America’s Promise. Most recently she sat on the planning committee of the Alzheimer's Association of Chicago, and the board of the Brain Injury Association of Illinois. She also sits on the visiting committee at Cleveland State University for their College of Liberal Arts and Science, voted one of the 20 faces of Komen, the recipient of a ”Fascinating Alumni“ award, and the proud mother of 2 children, James and Kylie. Tiffany is very grateful for her continued success as a performer and for her ability to give back through select organizations.
