Keani grew up in Bend where she attended Jewell Elementary, High Desert Middle school and later graduated from Bend Senior High school in 2015.
Keani’s childhood consisted of lots of outdoor activities such as camping, fishing and shed hunting. She enjoyed sitting by the fire with her family and friends laughing and telling stories.
