After 12 years of full-time military service, Green transitioned to the US Air Force Reserve Component and chose to make Indiana home.
Locally, she serves her community in Northwest Indiana as an educator, and is the founder of MissionAero Pipeline, a non-profit reaching at-risk youth that seeks to transform lives, inspire STEM careers, and set students, as young as 5th grade through college, on a path of learning in the aerospace industry.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in Asian Area Studies from the United States Air Force Academy, a master of ministry degree from Golden State Baptist College, and bachelor’s degree in Aeronautics from Liberty University.
