Nicole Strom, known for her terrible dancing and addiction to energy drinks, can most likely be found at any given time within the state of Wisconsin or any local Punch Pizza location. She is well known for her ambition to “get this bread,” but her “fake” allergy to gluten holds her back. As an officially ordained minister in the State of Wisconsin and lifeguard, she has presided over two weddings and saved three lives (all in the same day). Seen as a survivor of a jellyfish attack and an astrology enthusiast, her claim to fame remains how her great-great uncle invented the microwave for Air Force One.
