Stephanie García is a Dominican-Puerto Rican journalist and editor. She crafts stories in English and Spanish through data, audio, video, and the written word. Her most recent long-form stories covered affordable housing and retaining Native educators.

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.

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 is fluent in English and Spanish and currently learning German.
