Despite still being based in Nevada at the time, Champion's guidance and support helped Brown secure her first agent, a significant milestone that marked the beginning of her ascent up the entertainment industry ladder.
Brown's affinity for acting was palpable from a remarkably young age. By the time she had reached the tender age of nine, she was already participating in full-length theatrical productions, including a starring role as the iconic character of Alice in the esteemed production of "Alice in Wonderland" presented by the reputable Sierra School of Performing Arts. Furthermore, at the age of 11, she achieved the impressive distinction of becoming the youngest performer to be selected for an official cameo appearance with the prestigious Great Basin Chautauqua Program.
At the tender age of 15, the talented individual, Brown, embarked on a journey with the prestigious Good Luck Macbeth Theater company, where she had the privilege of taking on the esteemed role of Cecily in the esteemed theatrical production of Oscar Wilde's iconic play, "The Importance of Being Earnest". Her exceptional performance and impressive resume further allowed her to originate the role of Maggie Moran in Stacey Spain's gripping and dramatic play, "Killarney Sabbatical".
This remarkable feat did not go unnoticed, as Brown was subsequently awarded a scholarship to the esteemed American Musical and Dramatic Academy in 2013. However, she opted to attend the University of Nevada, Reno, where she received the prestigious Grace-Semenza Drama Scholarship as a freshman.
During her tenure at the University of Nevada, Brown was fortunate enough to be handpicked to perform a piece from the lesser-known play "Double Falsehood", which is widely believed to be an unattributed work of the renowned William Shakespeare, at a highly anticipated and intellectually stimulating scholarly debate. This esteemed event brought together two prominent academics, Tiffany Stern from Oxford University and Brean Hammond from The University of Nottingham, for a discussion that was sure to be both enlightening and thought-provoking.
In addition to this academic highlight, Brown also had the unique opportunity to work closely with Adam Cates, a Tony Award-winning theatre professional, during the university production of "A Christmas Carol: The Musical". As a seasoned veteran of the stage, having won a Tony Award for his work on "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder", Cates was able to share his vast knowledge and expertise with Brown, providing her with invaluable insights and guidance that would undoubtedly enhance her understanding and appreciation of the performing arts.
