After debating a long list of choices, Brown decided to take full advantage of the internship that would best compliment what both she and the organization were looking for. Being named the WNBA intern in November, Brown has already gotten her feet wet acquiring very tedious tasks including but not limited to membership renewals, ticket sales, Kodak/WBCA All-America Team updates and securing exhibitors for convention.

"I went overseas one year and traveled all over Spain, Russia and China, but it wasn't the right fit for me," Brown said. "I felt that this would be a good opportunity for professional development and to interact with coaches on a day-to-day basis."

With hopes of one day being a coach once her playing days are over, Brown looks to develop the relationships that she needs to establish herself professionally and also acquire the skill-set needed to build a firm foundation in the world of coaching. "I want to be a huge sponge while I am at the WBCA learning the ins and outs of the game, how marketing ties into coaching and how to view basketball from a totally new perspective," Brown said.

Brown played in the 1999 WBCA High School All-America game. Following the legacy that she left behind at Southeast Bulloch High School, Brown chose to join the Tarheels at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. An African-American Studies major, Brown feels that her greatest accomplishment has been graduating college.

"On the court, my greatest accomplishment was hitting the game winning shot against Maryland. Off the court, by far I would say graduating from college was my greatest accomplishment," Brown said.

Despite a recent battle with coming back from knee surgery, Brown's competitiveness and support is what motivates her to continue in her path of success. "My entire family have always been my number one fans both on and off of the court and they push me to always do my best," Brown said. "My competitiveness is one of the best qualities that I bring to the table. Both of these aspects have gotten me where I am today."

"Next year I will have a more mature and greater appreciation for the game," Brown said. "Once you are hindered by any obstacle, you learn that you can't take the gifts and talents that you have for granted. They may not be there tomorrow."

When not working hard at the WBCA or putting in hours at the gym, Brown likes to find down time to relax and shop. You will also find her catching every episode of Girlfriends and Extreme Makeover. "I enjoy just chillin'. It's a form of art to me," Brown said. "Shopping, lounging, watching movies and hanging out with friends are my favorite things to do."

Besides family and friends, another huge part of Brown's life is her faith. After growing up in the church, she gets by each day recalling the words of Philippians 4:13: "For I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

"I feel that through Christ, if I have faith, the sky is the limit," Brown said.

With all that Brown has behind her and still so much ahead, she is definitely right about that.
