After a decade in Nashville, Bailey finally packed up and came to Chicago after years of visiting and feeling like she belonged among the witty yet blunt people of this city. Once she successfully survived her first winter — despite being born in a small Mississippi town on the hottest day of the year — she knows Chicago is her forever home. Since graduating from Mississippi State University, she’s spent the last 15 years sharpening her digital marketing skills in just about every industry ranging from luxury hotels to LGBTQ+ focused healthcare. When Bailey’s not at work obsessing over audience data, she is probably walking to a record store, scrolling through movies on the Criterion Channel, or watching Hot Ones while overconfidently believing she could take on the wings of death without flinching.
