Brown serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology, Sport & Recreation at Eastern Illinois University (EIU), where she has taught since 2009 and held full-time faculty status since 2013. Her academic responsibilities include teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in sport ethics, law, governance, and finance while maintaining active research in sport management curricula and athlete safety protocols.
Her educational foundation includes:
- Ph.D. in Curriculum, Instruction Media, Technology (Sport Management specialization), Indiana State University
- MS.Ed. in Physical Education (Exercise Science specialization), Southern Illinois University Carbondale
- BS.Ed. in Physical Education (Athletic Training specialization), Southern Illinois University Carbondale
- AAS in Physical Therapist Assistant, Southern Illinois University Carbondale
Dr. Brown's research critically examines drug testing policies, concussion management in student athletes, and risk mitigation frameworks including monopoly dynamics and Title IX compliance. Her work bridges theoretical sport management principles with practical applications through industry partnerships and experiential learning initiatives that address systemic challenges in athletic organizations.
Her publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to sport management literature, particularly in risk assessment domains through her 2013 Indiana AHPERD Journal articles, while her earlier physiological research in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity reflects interdisciplinary expertise spanning sport science and health domains.
Professional engagement is evidenced through sustained membership in five national associations since 2000, including the North American Society for Sport Management and multiple athletic trainers' organizations. Her leadership in projects like the Sport Industry Round Table series provides students with direct industry exposure while generating research on gender equity and governance structures in sport organizations.
