Keelyn and her twin sister, Taegan, began playing soccer when they were three years old, kicking the ball in their backyard together with their mom and dad. Developing through soccer pathways in Calgary and Vancouver, and mature beyond their years, the sisters were part of the Canadian Under-15 National Team that participated in the 2022 CONCACAF tournament and won the silver medal.

The Stewarts gained their first international experience as 10 year olds, when they were selected to train with the boys Barca Academy in Barcelona. They returned to Barcelona at age 11 to hone their skills and values—both on and off the field—while playing on an all-boys team at the Barca Academy World Cup. More recently, the girls trained and played in Germany for two years with the SC Freiburg’s Under-17 and Under-20 teams. Thanks to their mother’s Welsh roots, they’ve also recently trained and competed with the Wales Under-20 National Team.

Some of Keelyn's career highlights are playing for the U15 Canadian National Team and winning a silver medal with them at the CONCACAF tournament in 2022, playing for the U20 Wales National Team, and trialing for SC FreiburgU20 women’s team.

Keelyn’s role model is a Spanish professional soccer player named Rodri, who started his career with Villareal where he spent time living and attending university. He had to balance his football with his school schedule to ensure he kept up with his studies. Despite all of his success in the last couple of years with Man City, he remains humble. Keelyn learned from Rodri that high-performance soccer players can attend university while still playing at a high level. She admires Rodri’s work rate on the field while remaining a good and humble person off the field. On off days, Keelyn enjoys baking and cooking, watching soccer, and going for a walk or hiking with her dog.
