Miss Brown has taught at various schools in Queensland since her arrival in this State in 1910, and for the last 13 years has been Headmistress at the Glennie.

A Tasmanian by birth, she was educated at the Ladies' College in Hobart, and graduated at the Tasmanian University. She taught in Hobart, and in Sydney for a period, and in 1910 left Tasmania and came to Queensland looking for good health, which she found. Her first position was at Milton College, Warwick.

She was then appointed Mistress of the Church of England School, Warwick, held that position for eight years, went to England for a year. and on her return became Headmistress of the Glennie Memorial School.
