In her most recent role as Regional Administrator for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Green oversaw federal human services operations across six Midwestern states and 35 Tribal Nations. Her extensive experience working at all levels of government makes her uniquely qualified to lead DFSS and address the needs of working families in Chicago.

Acting DFSS Commissioner Maura McCauley also praised Green's appointment, calling her a "strong choice" to lead the department. McCauley noted Green's compassionate leadership style and proven track record in both public and private sectors as assets that will benefit DFSS.
During her time at ACF, Green implemented data-informed solutions that improved human service delivery systems. She spearheaded initiatives such as ACF's Annual Midwest Economic Mobility Summit, which has been recognized as an incubator for state innovation in economic mobility for vulnerable populations. She also led efforts focused on whole-family well-being, early care workforce stabilization, housing solutions for human trafficking survivors, and homelessness prevention.
