At ASU, she  served as dean of the School of Educational Innovation and Teacher Preparation at the Polytechnic campus, and associate vice provost for STEM education, before devoting full time to the PRIME Center.

Professor Greenes has authored more than 350 books and programs for students and teachers, Pre- Kindergarten through college, 75 articles, six mathematical musicals, and two histories of mathematics in story and song. Among those is the 10 volumes of  "MATHadazzle Puzzle Books" with problems contributed by middle school teachers in the Phoenix metropolitan area (Volumes 1-3), middle school students (Volumes 4 and 5),  high school students (Volumes 6-8), and two new volumes of puzzles developed by students in grades 2 and 3. Professor Greenes is editor of the Arizona Association of Teachers of Mathematics semi-annual journal, OnCore, and author of the on-line monthly MATHgazine Senior (grades 8-12) and MATHgazine Junior (grades 4-8), both of which are made available to Arizona students, teachers, and families at no cost.

Professor Greenes has had several funded research projects.involving students and teachers, Prek-Grade 12, and undergraduates. Currently she is PI for the  Vertically Integrated Project (VIP) program at ASU for undergraduate and graduate students. VIP is a consortium of 36 international colleges/universities that is dedicated to using the vehicle of real world research lab experience for undergraduate students as a way to increase interest in and success with the study of STEM content and preparation for the workforce.
