Officer Andrea Galbraith
Officer Andrea Galbraith has dedicated nearly a decade to serving the South Euclid community with professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to public safety. A nine-year veteran of the South Euclid Police Department, she has earned the respect of both her fellow officers and the residents she serves through her leadership, initiative, and genuine care for others.
Andrea is known for responding to many of the department's calls involving individuals experiencing mental health crises or developmental disabilities. Drawing on both specialized training and personal experience, she approaches every interaction with patience, empathy, and respect, helping people feel safe, understood, and treated with dignity during some of life's most difficult moments.
Her commitment to the community extends well beyond her daily patrol duties. Andrea created Operation Holiday Cheer, an annual holiday gift drive benefiting adults with developmental disabilities living in South Euclid group homes. Inspired by her family's lifelong connection to the developmental disability community, she partnered with the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities, the Help Foundation, local businesses, and generous residents to bring joy to individuals who often have few family supports. The overwhelming community response transformed a simple idea into a beloved tradition that continues to strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the people they serve.
Andrea has also demonstrated outstanding initiative through numerous community service projects, including coordinating a breast cancer awareness fundraising campaign with the South Euclid Fire Department and securing grant funding to support impaired-driving enforcement patrols, helping make South Euclid's streets safer for everyone.
In addition to her patrol responsibilities, Andrea serves as a member of the EDGE Hostage Negotiation Team, is a certified drone pilot, an evidence technician, and an AED first responder. Each role reflects her dedication to continuous learning and her commitment to providing the highest level of service to the community.
Whether responding to an emergency, comforting someone in crisis, organizing a community service project, or building trust one conversation at a time, Officer Andrea Galbraith exemplifies the belief that public safety is rooted in compassion, service, and human connection.
For her exceptional leadership, initiative, and unwavering commitment to protecting and caring for the South Euclid community, One South Euclid is proud to recognize Officer Andrea Galbraith as a 2026 Hometown Hero.
Beth Greisl
For more than 25 years, Beth Greisl has devoted her time, talent, and heart to ensuring that every child in South Euclid has the opportunity to experience the life lessons found on a baseball or softball field. Through her extraordinary leadership of the South Euclid Youth Softball and Baseball Association (SEYSBA), Beth has helped shape generations of young athletes while preserving one of the city's most cherished recreational traditions.
A graduate of Charles F. Brush High School, Beth has always considered South Euclid home. As longtime President and Commissioner of SEYSBA, she wore countless hats—organizing leagues, registering players, recruiting and mentoring coaches and umpires, ordering uniforms, coordinating tournaments, overseeing volunteers, and serving as League Director for multiple softball divisions. She also coached countless teams and continues to serve as head softball coach at Brush High School, helping develop the next generation of student-athletes.
Perhaps Beth's greatest accomplishment came when South Euclid's youth baseball program faced an uncertain future. Recognizing what the community stood to lose, she led the effort to merge the city's baseball and softball organizations into one stronger association, preserving youth baseball in South Euclid and creating a sustainable future for both programs. Her leadership not only saved the league but also strengthened it for generations to come.
Beth believed every child deserved the chance to play, regardless of a family's financial circumstances. She operated the Bexley Park concession stand seven days a week to generate scholarship funds that helped offset registration and travel costs, ensuring that no child was left behind because of financial hardship. Under her leadership, SEYSBA also raised funds to improve ballfields, install new fencing and backstops, host regional tournaments that supported local businesses, and expand recreational opportunities—all without relying on the city's general fund.
Beyond the fields, Beth has been a mentor to young athletes, parents, coaches, and community leaders alike. She has inspired volunteers to step into leadership roles, encouraged teamwork and responsibility, and championed recreation as an essential investment in South Euclid's future. Her influence can be seen not only in the success of the league, but in the confidence, friendships, and lifelong memories of the thousands of children and families whose lives she has touched.
For her remarkable leadership, unwavering volunteerism, and lasting commitment to South Euclid's youth and community, One South Euclid is proud to recognize Beth Greisl as a 2026 Hometown Hero.
Julie Mostov
Julie Mostov is a tireless community leader whose passion for South Euclid has strengthened countless organizations, businesses, and community initiatives. For more than two decades, she has combined her talents in marketing, fundraising, event planning, and relationship-building to create opportunities that enrich the city she proudly calls home.
As Executive Director of the Heights-Hillcrest Regional Chamber of Commerce, Julie supports local businesses through networking events, ribbon cuttings, educational programs, job fairs, and initiatives that promote entrepreneurship and economic growth. Her professional career also includes leadership roles with Playhouse Square, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and John Carroll University, where she developed expertise in fundraising, marketing, and community engagement.
Julie has made an extraordinary impact through volunteer service. In 2008, she helped lead fundraising efforts for Bexley Park's Playground of Possibilities, bringing together local businesses, community leaders, and residents to help create an inclusive playground for children. She later co-chaired South Euclid's Centennial Celebration in 2017, helping organize a memorable community-wide event that celebrated the city's rich history. In 2019, she co-founded the Whiskers & Wine Gala, raising thousands of dollars for the South Euclid Humane Society.
While on the Board of One South Euclid as the Mayor's representative, Julie has played a key role in organizing the annual Mingle at Mayfield fundraiser, helping secure the resources that support neighborhood revitalization and community programs. Beyond these signature events, she is a familiar face throughout South Euclid, volunteering with Community Partnership on Aging, supporting local restaurants and businesses, assisting with community fundraisers, promoting civic events, and connecting residents with opportunities to serve.
Known for her boundless enthusiasm, generosity, and ability to bring people together, Julie has become one of South Euclid's greatest ambassadors. Whether she's welcoming a new business, organizing a fundraiser, mentoring community volunteers, or encouraging residents to support local events, she leads with energy, kindness, and an unwavering belief that strong communities are built through meaningful connections.
For her exceptional leadership, volunteerism, and lasting commitment to making South Euclid a more vibrant place to live, work, and thrive, One South Euclid is proud to recognize Julie Mostov as a 2026 Hometown Hero.
Tatiana Mason
Emerging Hometown Hero
At just 17 years old, Tatiana Mason has already established herself as one of Northeast Ohio's most accomplished student-athletes while demonstrating the leadership and character that make her an inspiration to others.
A rising senior at Brush High School, Tatiana is the school's all-time leading scorer and rebounder in girls basketball. Her remarkable career includes being named a three-time First Team All-State selection, runner-up for Ohio Ms. Basketball, and a two-time recipient of the News-Herald's prestigious Kaylah Chones Award.
While her accomplishments on the court are extraordinary, Tatiana's impact extends well beyond basketball.
She is a member of Balance and Beyond, a leadership program where high school girls mentor, motivate, and inspire elementary and middle school students throughout the year. She also gives back to the community by volunteering at free youth basketball camps and clinics, encouraging young athletes to build confidence, develop their skills, and discover a love for the game.
Known for her relentless work ethic, competitive spirit, and positive attitude, Tatiana leads by example. She believes success is built through consistency, preparation, and self-confidence—values she demonstrates every day in the classroom, on the basketball court, and in the community.
Tatiana will continue her academic and athletic journey at The Ohio State University in the Fall of 2027 on a full athletic scholarship, where she plans to study Business Management or Research Science while competing at the collegiate level. Her ultimate goal is to play professionally in the WNBA.
Tatiana Mason embodies the promise of the next generation of leaders. Through her talent, humility, service, and determination, she has already made a lasting impact on the South Euclid community and serves as a role model for young people who aspire to achieve great things while giving back to others.
