Brown was named after her aunt, Pamela Brown, who in 1970 was 28 years old when she died, along with her husband Rod Anderson and balloonist Malcolm Brighton, in an ill-fated attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a Rozière balloon dubbed "The Free Life."[citation needed]

Brown has interned for Senator Hillary Clinton and was one of the initial stockholders of Roadhouse Grill, Inc., a Florida-based casual dining restaurant chain co-founded by her father.
