Brown is currently a 2016-17 Council on Foreign Relations' (CFR) International Affairs Fellow. Prior to this, she served as Executive Director of the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy at the U.S. Department of State, an office authorized by Congress to appraise and strengthen U.S. engagement activities with foreign citizens. She previously served in the United States government as an assistant to the National Security Adviser at the White House; as a Communications Adviser at the U.S. embassy in Kabul; and as a Professional Staff Member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs at the U.S. House of Representatives.
