Keely joined the Crooked Tree Arts Center as the Marketing & Communications Manager in June 2024. She minored in Art History at UCLA and interned at contemporary art and rock and roll photography galleries. After graduating with her masters from the University of Chicago, she landed an apprenticeship in a London photography gallery but due to a curious misunderstanding with immigration, her life took a pivot from visual arts to the world of book publishing. Consequently, Keely has over 14 years of experience in publicity and marketing as a former book publicist at Penguin Random House and CPG media relations manager working with clients like Bob's Red Mill and Dave's Killer Bread. She is thrilled to return to the arts with Crooked Tree Arts Center.
