Autobiography
My name is Brittani Becher and I am 20 years old. I was born and raised in Defiance, Ohio where I still currently reside. I obtained my Associate of Science with a mathematics concentration from Owens State Community College in spring 2018. I then graduated from Archbold High School in spring 2019 with a STEM honors diploma. My Bachelor of Arts in mathematics with a statistics concentration and a minor in sustainability was obtained from the University of Toledo in spring 2021. I am currently working towards my MBA in sports management through Tiffin University and plan on graduating at the end of summer 2022. Because I am so young still, I have yet to have a full-time job since I have remained a full-time student after graduating high school and only want to focus on school for now. Instead, I have always been employed part-time through a few different employers to be able to keep income. As far as my future professional goals, I would like to (1) complete my PhD in sports management though The Ohio State University by graduating in spring 2025, (2) become a professor at a large research institution, and (3) learn how to write journal articles from my advisors.

Toledo Mud Hens and Walleye
About the Organization
The Mud Hens baseball team was acquired in Toledo, Ohio in 1965 by joining the minor league baseball club. The Mud Hens are now an affiliated team of the Detroit Tiger, major league baseball team, who brings in players from their minor league teams when needed (https://ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Toledo_Mud_Hens#:~:text=The%20Mud%20Hens%20officially%20came,large%20number%20of%20mud%20hens).
In 1991, an ownership group was given the opportunity to expand by the International Hockey League, which ended up becoming the Toledo Storm. When their arena was demolished, a new one was built a couple years later. Once the new arena was built, the team was renamed the Toledo Walleye (https://www.toledowalleye.com/en/team-page/hof/toledo-hockey-history-timeline).
