McNutt earned a master's degree in journalism from theUniversity of Maryland, College Park, in 2013.[4] Before obtaining her degree, she worked as a kindergarten aide. She was motivated to start her career in broadcasting after the school principal brought in a woman to speak at a professional development seminar. She said,
Something clicked for me as we were preparing and I remember telling my principal at the time, 'You know, I appreciate this opportunity so much, but this professional development day has reminded me that if you're going to be something in your field, you have to start.' Instead of operating on this borrowed time because it's convenient, I want to go and put my all efforts into moving into my field so that maybe one day, I would be leading my own professional development seminar in media.[5]
