Personal: McMillan is the daughter of Kara Duncan and Shannon McMillan and has one sibling. She majored in human nutrition, foods, and exercise at Virginia Tech. She has two cats named Kyla and Kiger. She credits Virginia Tech head softball coach Pete D’Amour as a person who has made a significant difference in her life.
