Green’s appointment follows an extensive national search that attracted applicants and nominations from many leading institutions in the United States. Green would be the first woman to serve as dean of the college.
She currently serves as professor and chair of the Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Florida–Gainesville. She also serves as chief of staff for the Large Animal Hospital at the University of Florida Veterinary Medical Center.
Texas A&M Provost and Executive Vice President for Academics Jeffrey S. Vitter cited Green’s national and international reputation in large animal clinical sciences and her role as the chief of staff for the veterinary teaching hospital at the University of Florida as key reasons for her selection.

Prior to that, she was professor and head of the Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences and director of the Large Animal Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.
