championship title. Howard was named "Newcomer of the Year"

Wesleyan and received her degree in Criminal

including juveniles enrolled at the Harris County Boot Camp
for Juvenile Offenders. She served as a volunteer
athlete and workshop facilitator, for former Houston Oiler Alonzo Highsmith's "Back-to-Basics" Football Camp.
