She had been covering technology and disinformation.

McGroarty received her master’s degree in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin.

She holds an interdisciplinary B.A. in journalism, history and political science from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. She has reported on policy, government, climate change, social justice movements and the COVID-19 pandemic for Alaska’s second largest newspaper for the past three and a half years.
