While in the UK she had the opportunity to perform on the BBC, at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, and tour the entire country with various theatre groups. Her favorite experience while on the road was being a part of the world renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Upon her return stateside, she lived in New York City, where she performed on Broadway at Theatre Row and appeared on 'As The World Turns', one of the longest running soap operas at the time. More recently Keyna has been focusing on a career in screen acting, with two National Television appearances. Most notably the lead role of Michelle Dickson in the series 'Murder Decoded'. The feature film 'Faith Under Fire', secured a distribution deal with Universal and will receive a limited theatrical release later this year.
