The Publications (1980-2003) series contains a wide range of Greene’s professional writing throughout her careers as an athletic trainer and Navy reservist. Notable works include her dissertation and a chapter she wrote for a women’s sports medicine book, several newsletters and articles on common injuries and treatments, athletic training education, and women’s sports. There are several presentations that Greene gave to the Navy on topics such as orthopedic training and guidelines for staying healthy and injury-free while on active duty.
The Awards and Accolades (1975-2022) series hold numerous letters praising Greene for her work. There are Naval honors, letters of recommendation, and thank-you notes.
