Stephanie García is a New York-born multimedia storyteller based in Seville, of Dominican and Puerto Rican descent.

She crafts stories through data, audio, video, and the written word. Her most recent long-form stories covered affordable housing and retaining Native educators. Her short documentaries have screened at festivals in the U.S., Japan, Canada and Palestine. She has also volunteered for the past two years at the Sundance Film Festival.

From freelance reporting in Spain to producing broadcasts around the U.S., she’s committed to telling nuanced stories about cultural intersections, diaspora, and decolonization. Stephanie landed her first journalism job at PBS NewsHour, where she reported and produced stories on climate migration and anti-Asian hate crimes.

Stephanie was a writer and editor at One Day, covering equity issues in education. Her recent scholarships include a Fulbright for the Berlin Capital Program and Ottaway Fellowship in Data Journalism. Previously, she covered Latine/x communities, diversity, equity, and inclusion at The Baltimore Sun. Her work won a Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Press Association award and has been published with The Independent, Associated Press, Washington Post, and GroundTruth Project.

Before the world of journalism, Stephanie had stints as an English teacher in Madrid, a refugee education caseworker in Phoenix, and in many kitchens and offices. She has lived in three countries, five U.S. states and too many cities to count, and grew up constantly on the move. Stephanie speaks English and Spanish.
