Professional career

Recording artist
Greenberg released her debut album, At The Back Of The North Wind, produced by MD Thomspson of The Ivory Tower, of Houston, Texas, in 2006.

The video went on to win a Silver ADDY Award and first place at Dances With Films in 2009.
Greenberg's Christmas CD, Keep Silent; A Collection of Ancient Carols, produced by Dan Workman of SugarHill Recording Studios released in 2007 on the independent record label, TLM Productions.

On her third album, Serpent Tales & Nightingales, Greenberg returned to work with MD Thompson of The Ivory Tower. Serpent Tales & Nightingales released on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2010, and was financed largely by Greenberg's fans who donated money and hosted house concerts to help raise funds.
