As Mirror Indy's health reporter, I report on how we stay well and the systems meant to support us in that.
I’ve been working as a journalist in Indianapolis since my teenage years living in Butler Tarkington. I covered the FedEx mass shooting for The Washington Post and have also written for USA Today and The Indy Star.
When I’m not busy covering stories, I like to bake, listen to music and explore new places with the people I love.
I joined the Mirror Indy team because I believe in the power of local journalism. When you are deeply connected to a community, you tell stories that better represent it. Indianapolis is my hometown, and I am so excited to return to a newsroom with a mission I believe in.
My phone number is 317-721-7648 and my email is maryclaire.molloy@mirrorindy.org.
