Stacia joined the Tacoma Little Theatre board of Directors in August 2022. TLT is where she fell in love with the theater and her husband Chad Russell. She is motivated by her children and family to help shape a world where they feel safe to express themselves. She believes that children should be engaged early in life to be expressive and learn how to self-advocate. She believes the theatre is a perfect space for development of such skills for youth and adults. Currently the Finance Director for Kent Youth and Family Services and previously with Greentrike as Finance Manager, Stacia has spent 10+ years in not-for-profit finances supporting youth and families in the Puget Sound Area. She is excited to bring her experiences to TLT.
