Keely Danielsen

Rock-solid logistics are the key to obtaining accurate jury research results. Keely Danielsen, IMS Jury Research Coordinator, ensures that the logistical components of both online and in-person jury research projects, which include mock trials and focus groups, consistently operate smoothly. Keely is involved with each jury research project from the early planning stages until long after it has ended. For in-person research, Keely assists with venue analysis to ensure participants are representative of the jurisdiction, arranges the critical meeting logistics, negotiates contracts for the projects, and collects the mock juror responses and quantitative data. For online research, she is also part of the team that organizes the presentation platform and assures participants are connected and comfortable using it.

Keely has excellent legal research and writing skills that benefit IMS immensely. In the past, she put these skills to work for the Kansas City, Missouri City Council, the Kansas City Municipal Court, and a nonprofit startup called Kanbe’s Markets, which delivers food to individuals living in underserved areas of Kansas City, Missouri.

During her years as a student at Northwest Missouri State University, from which she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in political science, Keely competed on the cross-country and track teams. She is now training to run half-marathons. When not working, Keely loves to hang out with her mom and together watch their favorite guilty pleasure: the reality television series The Bachelor.
