Born and raised in California, Keshia attended Fairfield H.S. prior to the University of Oregon, where she earned a degree with honors in Psychology. While competing for the Ducks, Keshia was an intergral part of the 2010 Indoor and Outdoor NCAA Championship 4x400m relay teams. Individually, she took runner-up honors in the 400m at the 2010 NCAA Indoor Championships and is a six-time Oregon school record holder. Keshia has continued her dominance in the relays, earning a gold medal for her leg on the USA 4x400m team at the London Olympics in 2012.

100% focus for years is generally required to ascend to Olympic medal heights, but Keshia's ambitions and energy goes a step further. Off the track, she received Master's degrees in Public Health & Administration and Social Work from San Diego State University, graduating in May 2014. This route to athletic and scholastic success did not come easy for Keshia, as she was born to two immigrant parents from Jamaica and was diagnosed with dyslexia in college. A strong faith in Christianity along with a devoted and loving spouse provide her with continual support to reach her goals. Keshia believes she is on Earth to serve others and uses her experiences, education, and faith dedicated to this pursuit. This is evident by her non-profit, Save Our Student-Athletes, through which she aids budget-imperiled afterschool athletic programs in K-12 public schools. In her down-time, Keshia enjoys cooking, fantasy sports, and relaxing with Copper, her pet dog.

In 2017, Keshia hung up her spikes and is now Senior Consultant, Quality & Regulatory Services at Kaiser Permanente.
