Keeli McKern joined Central Park Montessori in 2024. She is an artist and farmer from Eastern Washington state. She recently graduated from Whitman College, earning a degree in Art-Environmental Studies, and created a multi-media art installation studying rural queerness. Growing up she always loved being outside, which led her to a small, family-owned vegetable farm in her hometown. There she worked as a field worker and a Farm Camp Counselor, organizing and leading nature-based art activities and facilitating free play for campers on the farm. She loves people and color, and is excited to get to know the Twin Parks community!
