Brown joins the Eagles staff after spending last season as an assistant coach at the University of Akron. Prior to working with the Zips, Brown was an assistant coach at the University of Connecticut.
"Megan's playing and coaching experience, both in the states and internationally, are highly impressive. She brings a wealth of knowledge on pitching to the program and we are thrilled to have her join the Boston College family,'' said BC head coach Ashley Obrest.
Brown's resume included working as an assistant coach for two seasons at the University of North Carolina Pembroke. She also worked with the Great Britain Women's Softball National Team, overseeing pitcher training and preparation for international competition.
Before joining the collegiate coaching ranks, Brown completed an impressive career as a professional coach and player, both in the U.S. and abroad. She has spent time in countries such as Canada, San Marino, Italy, Netherlands, Great Britain, Czech Republic and Bulgaria.
Brown, a 2007 graduate of Florida Southern College, was a three-time All-American for the Moccasins. She was a three-time Sunshine State Conference Pitcher of the Year and, in June 2013, was the seventh Florida Southern softball player inducted into the Sunshine State Conference Hall of Fame.
Brown earned her bachelor's degree in physical education from Florida Southern in 2007 and her master's degree in education, also from Florida Southern, in 2009. She completed her Ph.D. in kinesiology from Auburn University in 2013.
