Brown grew up in Pennsauken, New Jersey, and lived in New York City for 14 years. She has worked at many magazines and newspapers, including Popular Science, New York Woman, Wigwag, Redbook, and 7 Days, and, as a result, is an eclectic and curiosity-driven writer.

She writes about the things that interest and move her, including medicine, the lives of women and children, and the arts. She believes in the power of the first-person narrative and practices good storytelling whenever possible.

Brown is an assistant professor of magazine journalism at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. She lives in Syracuse, NY, with her family.
