Graduating cum laude from Southern Methodist University in 2023, Keely holds degrees in Political Science, Corporate Communication and Public Affairs, and International Relations, with a minor in History.

Before her role at Redwood, Keely engaged in multifaceted experiences.

Passionate about advancing a climate-forward agenda, Keely focuses on communicating the climate crisis in an accessible manner for all individuals. Her goal is to illustrate not only the impact of climate change but also empower people to contribute toward mitigating its consequences. Residing in Texas, a predominantly conservative state, she finds fulfillment in sparking reconsideration among climate skeptics.
