Bailey is a contributing author of Epstein Becker Green's Telemental Health Laws app, a comprehensive survey of state telehealth laws, regulations, and policies for mental and behavioral health practitioners and stakeholders across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

Her background working for a nonprofit health organization, combined with her in-depth knowledge of health care organization operations, makes her exceptionally qualified to navigate clients through the complexities of the health care regulatory landscape at the state and federal level. Before embarking on a legal career, Bailey was a Program Director of the San Francisco branch of a national mental health organization, where, among other things, she directed and managed evidence-based education programs supporting individuals with mental health conditions (and their families) and managed city contracts with the San Francisco Department of Public Health. She also launched an innovative post-hospitalization program with San Francisco hospitals, which was recognized by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Bailey received her Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center (“Georgetown”), where she was an Editor of the “Annual Survey of White Collar Crime” for the American Criminal Law Review Journal and a Public Interest Fellow. She was recognized by the International Academy of Trial Lawyers for her work as a student attorney in the Social Enterprise and Nonprofit Law Clinic at Georgetown. During law school, Bailey served as a Law Clerk for both the Public Defender Service in Washington, DC, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California.
