Early life

Greening played with local club side Bay Oaks Botafogo in Oakland, winning back-to-back CYSA State Championships in 2012 and 2013. 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.

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.

Professional career

Orlando Pride

Greening was selected in the third round (25th overall) of the 2019 NWSL College Draft by Orlando Pride. Following preseason, she was officially signed to the team's senior roster on April 10. She made her professional debut on April 14 as a substitute in the team's season opener at home to Portland Thorns. 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.
