Irene Greene

Irene Greene is an experienced educator who has taught across a wide range of learning environments, from early childhood settings with infants and Montessori classrooms (ages 3–6) to university-level instruction. She holds undergraduate degrees in Anthropology and Philosophy, along with teaching certifications and specialized experience in both Gifted and Montessori education. Irene has also provided instruction at the master’s level in Environmental Ethics, Symbolic Logic and Philosophy. She earned her master’s degree in Biblical Archaeology and Biblical History and is currently pursuing doctoral studies in the same field. Irene is a docent in the Hall of Egyptology at the Museum of Natural Science. She has also spent thirteen years homeschooling her five children.
In addition to her academic and teaching work, Irene brings valuable field experience in archaeology. She has excavated for two seasons at Biblical Shiloh in Israel—the location of the first Tabernacle—where she served as an Assistant Square Supervisor. She has also participated in the excavation of a Native American kiva in New Mexico, further broadening her archaeological perspective across cultures.
Irene loves all things “dirt:” composting and gardening, Permaculture and the natural world. She is still known to make the occasional mud pie.
