Pasadena City College named Dr. Timi Brown as the new, full-time Dean of Kinesiology, Health & Athletics. She begins her duties on April 1, 2024.

A veteran of 38 years in college athletics as a NCAA Division I women's basketball player, a head coach and administrator, Brown comes to PCC after serving most recently for five years as Director of Kinesiology & Athletics at Chaffey College.

She moves from directing the athletics teams at Chaffey to the academic management position of dean as she will work in concert with PCC Athletic Director Jackie Johnson. PCC carries 16 intercollegiate sports teams, a large faculty/coaching full-time staff, and full-time classified personnel as well as part-timers.

At Chaffey, Brown managed 14 intercollegiate sports and participated on the 3C2A Management Council as women's basketball athletic director representative. 

She oversaw the emergence of Chaffey's football program as the school won the 2023 SCFA American Division Championship, ironically defeating PCC in the American Bowl to complete a perfect 11-0 season. Chaffey's women's soccer team won the Inland Empire Athletic Conference championship, earned SoCal's #1 seed and advanced as far the 3C2A state semifinals. 

Under Brown's leadership, the Panthers athletic program earned the IEAC Commisioner's Cup for outstanding athletic achievement for the 2022-2023 school year.

She helped raise more than $150 thousand from the school's annual Foundation/Athletics golf tournament. 

Brown is a member of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and was one of eight ADs throughout the country to receive the CBIZ Borden Perlman Sports Convention Grant. 

Brown brought national organizations, such as One Love, Accelerate, Spry, ArbiterPay, HomeTown Ticketing and E-Team Sponsor to Chaffey athletics in ultimately increasing the student-athlete educational experience, and overall efficiency of internal processes for the area.

She was a scholarship athlete as a student-athlete herself when she attended and played at the University of Arizona (1987-1991) and left as the school's all-time leading scorer (still #9 on the list).

Brown began coaching first at San Pasqual High in San Diego, directing two CIF Southern Section titles. An assistant coach at several community colleges, she went on to become head coach at Monterey Peninsula College, then Odessa College (Texas) in 2001. At Odessa, she coached a a 25-5 team in 2003-04, winning the Western Junior Athletic Conference championship.

In 2004, she moved on to Mesa State College (Colorado) for five years and then Glendale College (Arizona). She coached as recently as 2018-19 at College of the Desert before advancing to become Chaffey's AD.

After earning a bachelor's degree in exercise physiology at U of A, Brown obtained her master's degree in athletic administration at the University of Northern Colorado. She earned a doctorate in educational leadership from Argosy University in 2014.
