Biography

[edit | edit source]

Born in Richmond,[3] Greene grew up in the community of Steveston and went to Hugh Boyd Secondary School.[4][5] She attended the University of British Columbia, graduating with a bachelor of arts in 2002, then worked for accounting and banking firms.[3]

In 2016 she became involved in a local parent group against school closures in Richmond, leading her to consider entering politics.[5] In the 2017 provincial election she ran for the NDP in Richmond-Steveston, placing second against incumbent Liberal candidate John Yap.[6][7] She was then elected to the Richmond City Council in the 2018 municipal election.[8]

Greene contested the riding of Richmond-Steveston as an NDP candidate again in the 2020 provincial election, this time winning the seat by taking 52% of the vote, ahead of Liberal candidate Matt Pitcairn.[9] On November 16, 2020, she resigned her city council role to become a member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA).[10] She was named Parliamentary Secretary for the Environment by Premier John Horgan on November 26, 2020, supporting Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy George Heyman.[11]

On December 7, 2022 she was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Fisheries and Aquaculture by Premier David Eby, supporting Minister of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship Nathan Cullen.[12]
