Brown also reflected on her growth under Head Coach Jessica Eaton's leadership. "Playing for Coach E made me a better player. She allowed me to feel comfortable and play to the best of my abilities.

Coach Eaton praised Brown's impact both on and off the court: "Tan has been a leader since day one. She plays with heart, grit, and an unwavering determination. Tan is our first All-American for women's basketball in quite some time. She is setting the standard and playing a major role in taking this program in a great direction. This honor is a testament to all the hard work she's put in—on and off the court."

Her consistent leadership, explosive scoring, and commitment to excellence helped elevate FSCJ Women's Basketball and set a new standard for the program.
