Brown made her debut for the Firebirds in 2017 as a training partner, before being signed by the team permanently ahead of the 2018 season.[2] She won a spot in the starting seven for the first time that season in a match against the Giants, playing goal defence alongside prominent goal keeper Laura Geitz.[4] She established herself as integral player at the Firebirds that season, earning a call up to join the Australian Diamonds as a training partner prior to the September Quad Series and winning a bronze medal with the Australian Fast5 team at the end-of-year World Series event.[2][5] Brown was selected in the Australian squad for the 2021 Constellation Cup,[6] which was played in New Zealand.
Ahead of the 2023 Suncorp Super Netball season, Brown was signed by the West Coast Fever as a replacement for the retiring circle defender Stacey Francis-Bayman[7].
In late 2023, Brown was signed in the inaugural squad of the new Melbourne Mavericks franchise, as their starting goal defence[8]. Brown was re-signed in 2025 for two seasons, being described by Mavericks general-manager Shae Bolton-Brown as "a cornerstone of our defence"[9].
Brown grew up in Townsville and attended Pimlico State High.[10] Off the court she has graduated from studying a Bachelor of Health, Sport & Physical Education degree at The University of Queensland, as well as coaching young netballers.[11]
