==Biography==
Brown was born in [[Eureka, California]] to David and Pamela Brown. She attended the Los Angeles County High School for Performing Arts. Her acting career began at the age of 19, when she was cast as Kaitlin Star on the syndicated children's show, ''[[VR Troopers]]''. In 1996, she made a guest appearance in a 3-part episode of ''[[Power Rangers: Zeo]]'' playing Heather, a girl that sparks interest in [[Tommy Oliver]] (played by [[Jason David Frank]]). An article in FOX Kids Magazine claimed a member of the VR Troopers cast would be quitting the series to become a part of the Power Rangers cast, however the aforementioned Zeo three-parter is the closest anything like this ever came to happening.
