Early life

Watt was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where she showed promise as a track athlete, holding a number of Colorado high school records. She went to play for Texas A&M University for her college career.

Professional career

On January 16, 2020, Watt was selected 6th overall by the North Carolina Courage in the 2020 NWSL College Draft.
On January 30, 2020 Watt signed for Melbourne City in Australia for the remainder of the 2019–20 W-League season which ran congruently with the NWSL offseason. She made her professional debut as a substitute on February 16, 2020 in a 4–0 win away at Melbourne Victory. She scored her first goal for the club in the following matchweek against Western Sydney Wanderers. Watt appeared in all five games to conclude the season including a behind-closed-doors grand final victory due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Watt described the match as "a little different" but "historical" before rushing to catch a flight back to America after the match due to the uncertainty of international travel.

International career

Watt has played internationally for the United States U20s including at the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Papua New Guinea where she scored 2 goals.
