Stephanie Russo

Grants Director

I'm from Hamiton and Fairfield, Ohio originally and went to Miami University for a Bachelor's in English. I'm married with 4 grown kids. I started working for BLOC in 2007 first as a volunteer, then as staff member writing grants. I love being a part of making west side Cincinnati a stronger, better place to live. I enjoy (not surprisingly as an English major) reading, meeting friends for coffee, and being involved in my church.

"To please God… to be a real ingredient in the divine happiness…to be loved by God, not merely pitied, but delighted in as an artist delights in his work or a father in a son - it seems impossible, a weight or burden of glory which our thoughts can hardly sustain. But so it is."  - C.S. Lewis
