Keeli has been with the Star-Telegram for nearly six years. She worked as a sports designer and clerk at The Orlando Sentinel while she attended Rollins College in nearby Winter Park, Fla. She graduated in 2002 with a degree in economics.

She was the Star-Telegram’s sports design editor until she moved to the online side in November.

And, of course, find the Star-Telegram’s online sports section here. You’ll occasionally see her pop up in one of the Star-Telegram’s sports blogs. There are 16 sports blogs on Keeli’s site. Check ‘em out here.

Keeli shares a birthday with the Poynter Institute’s Sara Quinn, singer Joss Stone, actor Joel Grey, former U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson, journalist Ellen Goodman and Dale Messick, the creator of the Brenda Starr comic strip.

Plus, today is Eight-Track Tape Day. Seriously.

Geez. Get one of the oldtimers in your newsroom to explain to you what an eight-track tape is.

Best wishes for a happy birthday, Keeli!
