am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to our newest members, Tracy Nicodemo and Rose Mogus! It is with great excitement that we welcome these talented individuals to our team, as they bring with them a wealth of knowledge, skills, and fresh perspectives that will undoubtedly contribute to our collective success.
SPRING 2024
Embracing new team members is always an invigorating experience, and I am particularly excited about the unique skill sets Tracy and Rose bring to the table. As we embark on this journey together, let us embrace the exciting opportunities for growth, collaboration, and learning that their presence affords us. Here’s to a dynamic and successful journey ahead! Please read below as Tracy and Rose introduce themselves. - Stephanie Tracy: A graduate of Hoover High School, I left to study Interior Architecture at Ohio University and later decided to go back to school for Fashion Design at Parsons The New School for Design. Most recently I was a Designer for Abercrombie Kids, and prior to that did sourcing at Express. So, one might ask, why leadership? And, specifically why Stark County? Both questions are very good ones. The fact remains that throughout my life, a few people impacted me so positively because of their leadership skills that I simply couldn’t imagine my life without their attitude, perspective, passion, and grace. When my husband and I decided to move back to Stark County I figured out that although I love design, the topic that keeps pulsating through my heart is how to help people. To be able to provide others with mentorship, and opportunities that might show a glimpse into another’s perspective is immeasurable; and I’m here to help contribute in any little way I can.

Rose: Greetings, I’m Rose Mogus, and I’m absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Leadership Stark County team. A proud local, I grew up in the area and graduated from Perry High School in 2009. My educational journey led me to Kent State University, where I initially started at the Stark Campus before completing my degree in special education at the main campus. For over seven years, I dedicated myself to the field of special education as both a teacher and administrator with Summit Academy (Canton Elementary).
