Brittany Greene is from Franklin County and has built her life and career around her passion for helping children. With a B.S. in Social Work and a minor in Child Development, she now works as an Exceptional Children Teacher, where she dedicates her days to supporting students with unique needs for 13 years now.

Brittany takes pride in seeing her students’ growth each school year—not just academically, but socially and behaviorally as well. Watching those transformations unfold is one of the most rewarding parts of her work and a constant reminder of why she chose this path.

Outside of the classroom, Brittany is a proud mom to her son, who keeps her busy with his love for sports. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, creating memories, and finding balance between her career and personal life.
