Her Story
About Jennifer
Jennifer Greene, Ph.D., is the Digital Assessments Product Owner at Psychological Assessment Resources (PAR) in Tampa, Florida, a role in which she oversees the digital transformation of more than 200 psychological assessment products and spearheads the creation of an AI-powered report writing tool. That tool has cut the time psychologists spend drafting reports from as much as 10 to 20 hours down to a streamlined first draft, with dedicated versions built for both clinical and school psychologists. Greene's path to this position began within the same organization, where she started as a research assistant developing print-based assessments through statistical analysis and manual publication, later moving into digital platforms such as ParaConnect as her responsibilities expanded.
Academically, Greene holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and history, a master's degree in public health with an emphasis on behavioral health, and a doctorate in measurement and evaluation, all earned at the University of South Florida. She has further strengthened her product management expertise through an Advanced Certified Product Owner certification and a Certified Scrum Product Owner® (CSPO®) credential, pairing rigorous psychometric training with practical skill in leading digital product development.
Greene credits much of her professional growth to the mentors who have supported her along the way, coupled with her own openness to learning and readiness to advocate for her contributions. She regards authenticity and honesty as central to how she works with colleagues, even when that means delivering candid feedback. Beyond her role at PAR, she gives back to her community through volunteer work with Meals on Wheels and United Way, and she encourages young women entering her field to build strong AI literacy, viewing it as an essential skill for the future of psychological assessment.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Jennifer
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the guidance of a few excellent mentors throughout my career, along with my own willingness to listen, learn, and grow. I make it a point to take initiative in my own development, and I try to learn something new every year, because I never want to stop growing.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I've received is to speak up and advocate for myself, because no one else will do it for me. I make sure my contributions are visible and recognized rather than waiting for others to notice them.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would advise young women entering this field to become AI literate, as it is no longer optional. Companies, including my own, are no longer hiring people who lack AI literacy, so it's essential to build and be able to demonstrate that skill.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
AI is both the biggest challenge and the biggest opportunity in my field right now. It's disruptive and reshaping the foundation of how our work gets done, and while the industry is still learning what AI can and can't do, with some missteps likely along the way, I see it as an exciting opportunity for growth.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Authenticity matters most to me, both professionally and personally. I try to be an open book with my colleagues and stay honest with them, even when that means delivering difficult feedback. I believe it's kinder to be direct and authentic than to sweep issues under the rug.
