Born in Kingston, Ontario as one half of a pair of twins, Keavy quickly took to making stuff up and writing it down.
Her first play (& soul-crushing experience being re-written) was performed at a local drama camp when she was 12. In high school, she wrote her first TV script (a Doctor Who spec), along with a season arc and notes for the writing team about the female characters.
Born to immigrant parents who were really hoping for a lawyer, Keavy's ethnic identity is best described as "whatever Meghan & Harry's kid is".
A reformed theatre kid, Keavy was the founder and artistic director of Empty Box Theatre Company, where she directed several classic plays, and wrote / devised weird feminist ones. After a few years pouring her earnings into self-produced indie theatre attended by no-one, she turned her focus to TV, and enrolled in Humber College's Television Writing and Producing program.
Post-Humber, Keavy worked as a story coordinator from 2018-2020 on projects including Coroner (CBC), and The Beaverton (CTV). She's run several workshops for story coordinators to share her knowledge with the upcoming generation. In 2021 she organized a mentorship program for emerging Black Screenwriters with community organization Blank Canvas.
Keavy has written on seasons 1 & 2 of Pretty Hard Cases (CBC/NBCU), Revenge of the Black Best Friend (CBC Gem), as well as some pretty fucking cool series in various stages of development.
She writes TV dramas with a sense of humour & comedies with heart.
Her original pilots include royal family dark comedy Highness, sci-fi spy procedural Halfcooked,and political sitcom The Opposition. She has a half-hour series in development with ICF Films, and is the co-creator of a one-hour series in development with Shaftesbury.
When she's not writing, Keavy's hobbies including boardgames and dismantling the patriarchy.
PS: Keavy is not a former Irish pop star, though she can see why you'd think that.
