Therese Davis Brown

I am originally from Chicago and trained under Elise Flagg before joining Pacific Northwest Ballet’s Professional Division. I then danced professionally with Pennsylvania Ballet (now called Philadelphia Ballet), Grand Rapids Ballet, and the Dutch National Ballet Junior Company.

I pursued my education throughout my dance career and graduated with a BA in Biology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2021. Since graduating, I have worked in a lab studying heart failure and as a Clinical Research Coordinator for oncology clinical trials. I currently work at Northwestern University’s Institutional Review Board (IRB), which works to protect the rights and welfare of human research subjects. I am also pursuing an MS in Law from Northwestern Pritzker School of Law to increase my understanding of the legal, regulatory and business underpinnings of the clinical trials industry.
