After playing golf and cross-country ski racing for Middlebury College, Keely honed her writing skills at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism. Her passion is to produce content focused on athletes and life in movement — from narrative and instruction stories with the best golfers in the world to gear stories for pregnant people looking to stay active. After ten years of writing on-staff for Golf Digest Magazine, she has become a freelancer writer in order to spend more time with her two young children. She is excited to start covering the other sport she loves. She will be forever passionate and curious about peak performance, writing about active lifestyles, and getting outside with her young family.
