She earned First-Team All-American honors in 1988 (1m), was named First-Team All-East in 1988, and was selected for the U.S. Diving National Team that same year.
Greene transferred to the University of Texas for her final season of eligibility, earning First-Team All-American honors in 1989 (1m) and helping the team finish as NCAA runner-up. She returned to Harvard to complete her degree. During Greene’s years at Harvard, the team captured Ivy League titles each season (1986–1989). She was inducted into the Harvard Varsity Club Hall of Fame in 2012. Greene went on to earn an MBA in finance from Wharton and is currently a consultant to financial services and fintech companies.
