About Me
Bailey Stover (she/her) is a multimedia journalist who has developed visual, textual and audio storytelling skills so that she can create meaningful documentary pieces in both English and Spanish.
She is enterprising and constantly wants to learn more about the world around her. Simultaneously, she strives to listen empathetically, engage in people-oriented reporting and draw out the threads of humanity that connect us all. Her journalistic passion lies in sharing the stories of historically marginalized, disenfranchised, underrepresented groups. Her work explores intersectional themes of identity, family, resilience and the LGBTQ+ community.
She hopes her storytelling inspires difficult but necessary conversations about power, privilege and humanity’s unwavering perseverance in the face of malicious inequality. When not reporting, she enjoys traveling, playing volleyball and spending time in nature.
