In addition to editing the book, she has also received a Rockefeller Brothers Fund Fellowship, a national award honoring distinguished minority students and she was the head woman dancer for the 2002 Indian Club Pow Wow. Bauerle was also one of just 20 students across the country named to the USA Today All-American Academic Team. She is the daughter of Peter and Patricia Bauerle.

She received one of the 40 Awards for Excellence winners this year at MSU. She is also a member of Alpha Epsilon Delta, Septemviri, Phi Kappa Ph, Mortar Board and Golden Key. She is the daughter of John and Diana Paterson.
