In addition, Brown played for Team USA at the FIBA World Championships in Russia and was a member of the Team USA practice squad in preparation for the Olympics.

Following her playing career, Brown spent two seasons with Georgia Tech as an administrative coordinator where she worked with coach Messer, who was an assistant coach for the Yellow Jackets.
