After a 1993 Master's in Education thesis titled 'The effects of non-sexist literature on children's sex-typed toy-play behaviour' and a 1998 PhD titled 'Gender and social competence as predictors of social interaction in a limited resource situation,' both from the Queensland University of Technology, Green worked at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Tasmania before moving to Victoria University of Wellington, where she became a full professor in 2016.

Green's research focuses on bullying and communication interventions for children with autism.
