Brown was born on 5 June 1997 in Taree,New South Wales,and grew up in nearby Wingham.[5][6] She has generated some attention for a skill that has been described as "bizarre",namely her ability to speak and sing with her mouth shut. She has said that she taught herself the skill as a child,while sitting in the car on long road trips with her family.[7] She can also juggle.[8]
As a youngster,Brown was part of the New South Wales academy and played for various youth teams before being released in 2016. She was then signed by the ACT Meteors on a rookie contract and ended up playing all six matches for the team in the 2016–17 WNCL season. She also joined the Melbourne Renegades for WBBL|02,and produced "several exciting cameos" including 30 off 15 balls against the Sydney Sixers.[13][14][15][16]
In WBBL|03,Brown was the Renegades' second-highest wicket-taker with 15 scalps.[17] She was included in the 2018 Women's National Performance Squad.[18]
She finished as the Renegades' second-highest wicket-taker in WBBL|05 with 16 wickets but was unable to prevent the team losing to the Brisbane Heat in the semi-final.[19][20]
On 6 November 2020,Brown was ruled out of the remainder of the WBBL|06 season with a hamstring problem which also kept her out of the 2020–21 WNCL season.[21][22]
On 12 May 2021,it was announced that Brown had moved from the Meteors to the New South Wales Breakers,the state side for which she had played at academy level.[3][23]
