Her artistic journey commenced at age ten when she secured a role as an orphan in the theatrical production "Oliver!" which established her lifelong passion for stage performance and audience engagement. Keener relocated to Cartersville, Georgia where she attended a performing arts school and completed her education early, enabling her to pursue professional opportunities as a singer and dancer at a theater in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Following her theatrical experience, she returned to Georgia and enrolled at Kennesaw State University while simultaneously exploring acting classes in Atlanta to develop her craft further. Her entry into the film and television industry proved strategically timed, as she arrived in Atlanta in 2005 coinciding with the implementation of tax incentives for film production in the state. Her ethnically ambiguous appearance and solid theater foundation facilitated rapid representation acquisition and launched her career as a film and television actress. In 2007, she appeared in "Death Sentence," marking one of her early significant film roles that demonstrated her transition from stage to screen. Her career trajectory led her to Los Angeles in 2009, where she discovered her passion for improvisation and authentic performance techniques that would later distinguish her hosting style. Upon returning to Atlanta in 2011, she secured a position as social media engagement reporter for Braves Live, an opportunity that revealed her natural aptitude for hosting through direct audience engagement, storytelling, and creating spontaneous live content. Her acting portfolio expanded to include notable projects such as "Battle: Los Angeles" (2011), "Richard Jewell" (2019), and television series including "The Walking Dead" and "The Vampire Diaries," alongside films like "Fist Fight" and "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul." As her hosting career developed in Atlanta, she collaborated with clients from diverse geographic locations spanning Italy to California, eventually co-creating "The Local Lense" with partner Greer Howard. Through this platform, she conducted interviews with prominent entertainment and sports figures including Denzel Washington, Steve Carell, Tyler Perry, basketball player Dwight Howard, NFL veteran Tony Gonzalez, actor Simon Helberg, musician John Driskoll Hopkins, and "The Walking Dead" star Norman Reedus. Among her career milestones, she achieved recognition as one of three final candidates nationwide for the "Live with Kelly" co-host search, established "The Local Lense" as a recognized brand within Atlanta's media landscape, and served as Digital Host for Atlanta United during their MLS Championship season. Keener has developed expertise as an entertainment, business, and lifestyle host, specializing in bringing authentic personality and genuine connection to brands and companies seeking meaningful audience engagement through digital content and live presentations, demonstrating her evolution from stage performer to multimedia entertainment professional.
