Professional Background

Reading and writing have played a pivotal role in Tia Brown’s professional and personal successes. Her experiences have taught her that the best way to fight is by arming herself with knowledge and understanding technology. In fact she traded in a modeling career, where she appeared in National ad campaigns, for her educational pursuits. Ms. Brown earned both her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and MBA from the University of Baltimore.

In her professional career she is seen as an innovator—creating new ways for Business Development. She created training manuals, a continuing education course and customized presentations for various types of audiences which all resulted in sales success. She has been recognized by each of her past employers for either excellence in sales or overall efficiency. She is guided by the notion that it is important to be willing to educate and to learn.

Ms. Brown has been a re-occurring speaker for Hotel Louisville’s Life Skills class. She has volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters, Volunteers of America and Dare Food Bank. Tia has been a contributor for Urban Conneqt, an online outlet for issues that affect the Urban community.

What information do you hope to gain from the Visual Teaching Network?

I've recently partnered with Block Starz music to start The Block Starz Foundation, Inc. which promotes literacy through arts and entertainment. I would like to connect with educators of Visual Literacy.
