McCarroll then completed her bachelor's degree at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts in 1914.[2] After graduating from college, McCarroll worked as a social worker for a year.[1]

McCarroll began her journalism career as a reporter for The Ridgefield Weekly of Ridgefield, New Jersey. She then joined The Commercial as a columnist for its "Women in Business" column. McCarroll served as the woman's page editor for King Features Syndicate,[5] which distributed her column. She also served as the women's editor at the New York Evening Post (now The New York Post).[1]

During the 1930s, McCarroll wrote for both The New York Evening Post and the Sunday edition of The New York World. Her stories during this period included a feature article about a flight she took with pioneering aviator Ruth Rowland Nichols. McCarroll also worked as a publicity writer for Rockefeller Center.[3] She served as president of the New York Newspaper Women's Club from 1930 to 1931[1] and from 1949 to 1950.[4] During her tenure of service at the club, Franklin Roosevelt (then the Governor of New York) visited.[5]

McCarroll earned notoriety for penning the "Advice to the Lovelorn", a syndicated column.

McCarrool continued writing the column under the pen name of Beatrice Fairfax for the next 21 years.[6] (between 1942 [7] and 1963). In 1952, the New York chapter of Theta Sigma Pi, a journalism honor society, awarded her their Women of Achievement Award.[8]
