Keely has lived in Newnan, Georgia her entire life, except for the seven weeks she spent in Warsaw, Poland when her family adopted her two older sisters. Keely loves the variety of South-Atlanta suburbia where one road can begin with rural cow pastures and end at a shopping center. She dutifully signs the only child square on the box game, though, because she was an only child until her family adopted her sisters when she was nine.
Reading, writing, and art journaling are some of Keely’s favorite hobbies, and she loves to passionately discuss the beauty and brilliance of the Lord weaving His true story into all stories of human creation. She can often be found conversing with friends, topics ranging from theology and philosophy to conspiracy theories. Her favorite activities with her family are game nights, cooking the family pizza recipe, and serving in children’s ministry together at her church.
Keely attended her first TeenPact State Class in 2020 when her parents sent her to “government camp” over winter break. The Lord has continued to use TeenPact as a repeated catalyst for spiritual growth in her life and inspired her to pursue many leadership opportunities as a young person. Keely is overjoyed to serve as a 2025 Traveling Intern to continue witnessing students and staff grow in their confidence and leadership skills and, more importantly, deepen their relationship and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
