Career
At first, she planned to become a model. Her manager told her that she was not tall enough to be a fashion model and that she should act in commercials instead.[4] After taking commercial and acting classes, she realized that she liked acting more than modeling. Greene graduated from high school early and moved to L.A. to start her acting career.[4]

In 2008, she had an important role in the movie Twilight, which was based on the novel of the same name by Stephenie Meyer. She played the character Alice Cullen. She was also in the sequels to Twilight: The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009), The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010), The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011), and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012).[5][6]

Greene acted along with Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore in the drama movie LOL (2012).
In 2013, Greene was in the historical film CBGB about the former Manhattan music club with the same name.[9]
Modeling
In 2010, Greene did modeling for an advertisement by the company SoBe.[10] In this advertisement, she wore body paint. Later the same year, Greene became the main model for the Mark brand of cosmetics.[11] This brand is made by the company Avon.
