"She comes very highly recommended and I can't wait to start working with her! Miranda's enthusiasm, positive attitude, and energy is infectious. She will be a tremendous asset to the Gopher women's golf program."
Greene has a multitude of coaching experience. She spent three years serving as assistant men's and women's golf coach at Regis University and Flagler College.

"I am deeply grateful and honored to join the University of Minnesota as the women's associate head golf coach," said Greene. "Being able to represent the Gophers and join the community is a dream come true. I want to extend my sincere thanks to Julie Manning and Matt Higgins for believing in me and for this incredible opportunity."
"The culture Matt Higgins has built over the years, coupled with the investment from the student-athletes, alumni and the Minnesota community sets an inspiring path for the future of the program. I am eager and ready to work alongside Matt and our team to create something extraordinary. Together, we will strive to elevate our program to new heights. Ski-U-Mah! Go Gophers!" she said.
Greene also spent time as a graduate assistant coach at Florida International University where she managed recruiting efforts that led to two First Team All-Conference USA selections and eight conference player of the week selections.
Off the course, Greene has helped develop strong academic programs. The Flagler women's team earned the WGCA (formerly NGCA) All-Scholar Team award eight times during her time with the program. The award was given seven times in her time at Florida International.
