She worked as a kennel assistant for about 14 years at a private practice, 2 years as an Animal Health Technician, and 13 years at the University of Georgia as a large animal technician and instructor of surgery prep. Dr. Brown then obtained her veterinary technician degree in 1976 and worked as a technician for 14 years.

In February of 2003, Dr. Brown opened Aiken Animal Hospital.

She has recently retired but does return to the hospital often to fill in with our team as needed.
Dr. Brown is a member of the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) and SCAV (South Carolina Association of Veterinarians). She is a "jack of all trades," with a particular interest in reproduction and surgery.
