Let me introduce myself

Hello, my name is Amanda Howett and I am currently studying Sport Management and Communication at Slippery Rock University. Hailing from Erie, Pennsylvania I have been around sports since I was able to walk. Between my parents and extended family sports are in my blood. I grew up playing softball, basketball, and soccer. When reaching high school I dropped everything and focused on year-round softball. 

Unfortunately, I was hurt my junior year and was unable to continue my career into a competitive level in college. The saying goes "those who can't do, teach" so I chose Sport Management as a career path. I can't imagine what my childhood would have been like without sports, and I don't want to live through adulthood without them either,

My ultimate goal is to stay along the communication path in sports, and I would like to end up with a professional basketball team running social media accounts. I'm a big Boston fan (not including the Patriots) so I'd like to end up with the Celtics or the Red Sox.
