In her current role she oversees the Dragon Leadership Academy, department wide civic engagement initiatives and career readiness programming. Brown co-leads the Athletics DEI Council that is composed of administrators, coaches and student-athletes. She also administers QPR(suicide prevention) training for new staff and students. Brown serves as the advisor for SAAC, Black Student-Athlete Union(BSAU) and Morgans Message.

Brown was the assistant director for the Athlete Center for Enrichment at Saint Joseph's University. In that role, she was responsible for ensuring the academic success of the Hawks' women's basketball, men's and women's track & field, men's and women's rowing, men's soccer, baseball and women's tennis teams. She also helped provide career support and guidance for student-athletes as they transitioned into the workforce and played an important role in the SJU SAAC, Leadership Academy and DEI programs.

Displaying her leadership in the DEI field, she created the first Black Student-Athlete Alliance and served on the Inclusion Diversity Equity Action Committee with the Red Foxes.

A hallmark of Brown's career has been in student development where she has either created or improved the area in each of her stops. At Marist, she created Red Fox Ready, a career and leadership development program for student-athletes. While working at Georgia Southern, she revamped the Eagles in Transition programming for graduating student-athletes and oversaw the Summer Success programming for all first year student-athletes.
