Prior to joining up with the Lancers, Keizer spent one year as the Pepperdine interim head women's basketball coach in 2023-24.
Prior to Pepperdine, Keizer had 12 years of experience at Southwest Baptist, including nine years of head coaching experience. Keizer's teams have had success not only by winning 115 games during her nine-year head coaching tenure, but also by amassing a 3.25 grade-point average or higher for nine straight seasons.
Playing in two competitive Division II leagues in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association and the Great Lakes Valley Conference, Keizer's teams notched five wins over ranked Division II teams, including an upset win over #1 Fort Hays State in the 2015-16 season. As a head coach, Keizer helped seven players earn all-conference honors and one — Caylee Richardson — make the Division II Freshman All-American team in 2015-16. That same year, Keizer earned a spot on the WBCA's 30 Under 30 coaches list.
Aside from basketball, Keizer was Southwest Baptist's Fellowship of Christian Athletes advisor, and before getting into coaching, she worked with Athletes in Action as an international intern while playing professionally for Sparta Praha in the Czech Basketball Federation.
As a player, Keizer was a four-year letter winner for the Drake Bulldogs, a Division I team competing in the Missouri Valley Conference. Keizer hit the game-winning shot that helped the Bulldogs win the MVC Tournament Title and punch their ticket to the 2007 NCAA Tournament as a sophomore. She graduated with bachelor's degrees in finance and business administration in 2009 and later earned her master's in athletic administration from Southwest Baptist in 2013. She got her start coaching in the 2009-10 season by serving as a student assistant coach at her alma mater, where she helped develop the Bulldogs' post players.
