During her tenure at USA Today, Keen covered the first Iraq war, traveled to Somalia three times before, during and after the U.S. military intervention there, and traveled across the Soviet Union and through Siberia as the country was coming unraveled in the 1990s. She also covered the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the deadly tornado in Joplin, Mo., and many other breaking news stories.

At the Star Tribune, Keen headed the national coverage of the 2016 campaign and is responsible for national and world coverage in the newspaper’s A section. She grew up in Austin, Minn.
