Early life
Greening played with local club side Bay Oaks Botafogo in Oakland, winning back-to-back CYSA State Championships in 2012 and 2013.[1] She lettered four years at Piedmont High School and was named All-League for all four seasons on the way to becoming the school’s all-time leading scorer.[2]
Colorado Buffaloes
Greening attended the University of Colorado Boulder from 2015 to 2018 where she got a degree in strategic communication and was a three time Pac-12 All-Academic honorable mention. She was a multi-positional player during her collegiate career, playing midfield and forward in her first two years before transitioning to full-back. In her junior year, she was part of a defensive line that kept a school-record 14 shutouts.[2]

She scored her first professional goal on July 14, 2019, a 90th minute equalizer against the same opposition. Portland would go on to win 4–3 in stoppage time.
