Years ago, Keeley visited a family in rural Oaxaca, Mexico, where she gained a better understanding of transnational migration. Juxtlahuaca is a sister city to Mount Vernon; upon arriving there, it seemed that every resident had family members living in Skagit.
Keeley worked at the Whatcom Literacy Council and Skagit County Goodwill Job Training and Education Center. She met regularly with local immigrants, assisting them to sort through sources of stress, learn to advocate for themselves and connect with trustworthy, immigrant-friendly agencies for services.
Keeley lives in Mount Vernon with her husband and baby. She enjoys walking the Wiley Slough trail and cooking vegetarian meals.
