She has also served as the Director of the Aboriginal Student Centre at the university.

As well, she has been employed as a consultant on education, health and governance with the Muskeg Lake Cree Nation.

Greyeyes also once served as the Director of Education with the Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta.
