Her high school education took place at Monsignor Edward Pace High School in Miami, Florida. She enrolled at Wheaton College, in Norton, Massachusetts where she majored in American Studies and minored in theatre.
In both protagonistic and antagonistic parts, Keener has developed a reputation for portraying people who are “empty or dissatisfied in their relationships or their creative activities.” The manner she plays the parts she is assigned draws her audiences to the character to the point that some people begin to really believe that the character is real.
Keener, whose body of work has been compared to Woody Allen heroines, portrays neurotic ladies in independent films.
On rare times when she agrees to participate in larger studio productions, she chooses minor character roles. In an article for the Miami New Times, Amanda McCorquodale stated that Keener frequently portrays intelligent, neurotic female characters.
