Prior to joining MOGL, McNulty was the Associate Director of Development in the athletic department at Ohio State University. There she secured over $1.4 million in support of the department and cultivated a portfolio of 65 major gift prospects. Previously, she was a coordinator at the American Heart Association.

McNulty has a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and is expected to complete a Master of Business Administration degree in 2023 from the Ohio State University Fisher College of Business.
