Stephanie Brode (nee Shoop) captivated the City of North Royalton in 2012 as she became Miss North Royalton.
She continued her journey of pageantry until she synched the title of Mrs. Ohio American this past June at the Knox County Theater in Mount Vernon, Ohio. She plans to use her title to raise awareness for the Drug Epidemic through the first annual Cardinal Crew 5k Race.
Stephanie began her journey through pageantry when she was only ten years old when she entered the Sweetheart North Royalton Pageant. She competed for nine years when she finally captured the crown and became Miss North Royalton 2012. Through pageantry, Stephanie learned how to break out of her shell and learn skills for public speaking and community service.
This propelled her to continue her journey after getting married and having her first child – leading her to the Mrs. America Organization.
The Mrs. America Organization supports the Victoria’s Voice Foundation which advocates for preventing teen drug addiction while influencing state and national legislation for drug policy reform. This mission is something Stephanie holds near and dear to her heart as both of her parents have struggled with substance abuse and addiction. Stephanie will be holding her first 5k Race next Spring in honor of her late father who succumbed to his alcohol addiction this past June.
She currently resides in the Cleveland area with her husband Dustin and one-year-old son, Logan. Together they enjoy experiencing the outdoors, playing with their two great danes and 11 pet ducks. They are often spotted jogging the trails through the Cleveland Metroparks.
Join forces with the current Mrs. Ohio American, Stephanie Brode, to raise awareness and funds for the Victoria’s Voice Foundation by entering the Cardinal Crew 5k on May 7, 2023 at the Sagamore Hills Park.
