An Ohio native, Dr. Keys received her degree from Ohio State College of Optometry in 1987. She relocated to Fairbanks in 1994 as her husband was stationed at Eielson AFB. She loves working in optometry, and has worked in an ophthalmologist's office, corporate optometry, HMOs, veteran's homes and now private practice. With Jim and Salley Rothmeyer, she formed West Valley Vision Center in 1997; three years later she purchased the practice. Her part-time schedule allows her to spend time with two very busy sons.
