Lamonte also worked at the University of Tennessee in 1998, aiding the Assistant Athletic Director of Business and Tickets with game day sales for volleyball, soccer and basketball. She also assisted in the support work for the budget and ticket operations.

Lamonte earned a bachelor of science degree in sport management from Winston-Salem State University where she started her career as a two-sport athlete. Due to injury, she chose to focus on softball while at WSSU. Lamonte was named to the CIAA All-Conference second team in 1999, also receiving her team's Hustle Award that year.

In 1998, the junior led the nation in stolen bases among NCAA Division II players and came in second in 1999. Lamonte went on to earn her master of science degree in kinesiology from Georgia Southern in 2003.
