Meet the Magnopians: Camille Hall
As a senior member of the HR team at Magnopus, Camille Hall provides dedicated support across all employee functions, building on three years of service with the company. As a certified SHRM-CP, she brings comprehensive expertise across all core pillars of HR and supports employees throughout the entire employee lifecycle. Her foundational expertise is built on a B.S. in Psychology and professional experience that began in the healthcare sector, allowing her to approach HR with a blend of empathy and structured support. A proud native of Minneapolis, MN, she still firmly believes the Midwest is the best place – and possibly the only place – you can truly master the art of "you betcha!".
Tell us more about your role at Magnopus!
My role at Magnopus is essentially about being a dedicated partner and advocate for our employees, providing strategic HR support and structure so they can focus on creating extraordinary experiences.
My responsibilities cover the entire employee lifecycle at Magnopus, from first day to final sign-off. On any given day, my focus shifts rapidly: I pivot from acting as an unofficial therapist in meetings, to becoming a professional data diver working through ADP reports. I welcome new hires and then transition to being a benefits guru who swoops in to rescue employees from the confusing abyss of healthcare plans.
What attracted you to Magnopus?
What brought me here was the thrill of the unknown. Coming from healthcare, the immersive technology space was completely new – I had very little exposure to augmented or virtual reality. I saw Magnopus and knew I wanted a challenge, and, honestly, I wanted to be part of something groundbreaking.
What is the biggest lesson you’ve learnt in your career?
The single biggest lesson I’ve learned is that everyone’s ‘best’ looks different. My transition from corporate healthcare, which was often very "black and white" and process-driven, to the creative world of Magnopus drove this home. In HR, I realized you can't fit everyone into a single mold; one person’s "best" is meticulous detail, while another’s is innovative risk-taking. My job is to provide the inclusive HR framework and support that allows those diverse versions of 'best' to thrive and succeed here at Magnopus – a level of personalized partnership that often goes beyond a traditional HR role.
What, or who, inspires you? Or what moment has had the most significant impact on your life?
The people who inspire me most are my parents. They worked incredibly hard for years, and now they are retired and traveling the world, fully embodying the reward of that dedication.
Their passion for seeing new places has certainly instilled my own love for travel. However, the biggest impact is the sense of adventure they passed down. It taught me the value of being open-minded, trying new things, and being willing to take necessary professional and personal leaps.
How do you think your friends would describe you?
They'd probably say I'm someone who loves to laugh and is a reliable sounding board – the person always there to listen. Beyond that, I think I’m also known as an excellent gift-giver!
What’s your favourite thing to do when you’re not working?
I love a good nap!
Are you reading/listening to anything good right now?
I'm a massive Stephen King fan—The Dark Tower novels are probably the best series ever written, setting a dangerously high bar for everything else. That said, I'm trying to branch out (I’ve read IT three times). I recently finished Robert McCammon's post-apocalyptic epic, Swan Song, and I'm currently working my way through Dan Simmons' historical horror novel, The Terror.
Tell us something that would surprise us!
I love White Castle! It’s not just a fast-food joint that happens to have its own movie; it’s nostalgia. My love started early: my grandpa used to pick me up from preschool and take me straight there. Those tiny, greasy sliders became a favorite tradition that I still enjoy to this day.
What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives?
Hike Machu Picchu with your family and best friends.

Where is one place you want to travel to in the world?
Isle of Skye, Scotland.
