Prior to working at NH1, Keke spent four years as an anchor and reporter at WCSC CBS 5 in Charleston, South Carolina. Before that, she spent over five years as an anchor, producer, and reporter at WOAY ABC 50 in Oak Hill, West Virginia.
Keke has covered a variety of stories during her career including: the 2006 Sago Mine Disaster in West Virginia; South Carolina Congressman Mark Sanford's political comeback; Haiti's struggle to recover following the 2010 earthquake; and the trial of three men accused of killing an American couple in the Caribbean.
Before starting her career in broadcasting, Keke was a public affairs specialist for the United States Department of Labor.
A native of Kentucky, Keke is a 2003 graduate of Western Kentucky University where she earned a Bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism.
Keke starts at WHDH next week.
