About
Laura Keene
Hi! I’m Laura, Owner and Principal at Keene Insights. I've been an evaluation and learning specialist for more than twenty years and have worked in a variety of fields including education, public health, health care, and social services. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology from UC Berkeley and a Master of Public Health from Columbia University.
I also have the great joy of working with amazing collaborators who continue to support and challenge me: Melinda Stylos-Allan, Becca Carsel, and Amanda Welsh.
Outside of work, I love adventuring with my hubby and my two girls and crafting up a storm.

We’ve had the privilege of working with thoughtful and passionate people from organizations like:
