Need help caring for Spider Plant

Hi, guys! I got this spider plant about 3 weeks ago. She was beautiful and big and had a few shoots growing some spiderettes (I did not take any pictures of her when I first brought her home). She was doing great for the first week- her soil was still very moist and she seemed happy. Then I started to notice that her leaves were browning, but since her soil was still moist, I assumed she may have wanted to be closer to the window and just needed some more sunlight. She seemed to be getting worse there so I moved her back to the other side of the TV stand that you can see the edge of in the pictures provided that is further from the window. Again, she was not doing well and everything I read online seemed to point to her actually needing more light. Tried her on the side she is currently on that is closest to the window and she was looking horrible still. Despite her water still retaining a bit of moisture within the first couple inches, I watered her. She still looked horrible so I decided to trim off the dead leaves and ends and a few of her bigger shoots to help her conserve her energy. I have left her alone since then but even after those cuts, her tips have begun to brown again. Just not sure what to do for her and want to save her. Is it possible she is just a very thirsty plant? I also got a Watermelon Peperomia and Boston Fern that are doing well but need to be watered more frequently than you might expect for each of them. I live somewhere very hot and humid with lots of sun. The window she is closest to is a north-facing window and there is also a west-facing window that’s a bit smaller and further away.
Possible solutions I am considering:
-Repotting her in a smaller pot
-Cutting off her browning tips again
-Moving her closer to or further from the window
-Watering her again even though her soil is still slightly moist within the first couple inches
