Green earned her Ph.D. in History from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2010, her M.A. in History from Tufts University in 2003 and her B.A. in History with minors in Africana Studies and Pre-Healing Arts in 1999.

She is currently developing a book manuscript on how everyday African Americans remembered and commemorated the Civil War.
