Sunday marked the experienced goal attack's 11th premiership and her second flag as an A-grade coach when Wangaratta defeated Corowa-Rutherglen.
The Goulburn Valley league export won seven flags with home club Benalla but has since made her mark with the Magpies.
Keen said she never expected to achieve the amount she has in Wangaratta in such a small space of time.
"I obviously never thought I'd come up from Benalla and win two premierships in three years," Keen said.
"It's been fantastic.
"Any premiership you win is fantastic.

"You never know when the next one will be so you always enjoy the moment."
Keen was consistent throughout the decider at Norm Minns Oval on the weekend contributing 14 goals in the victory.
The Magpies' leader maintained an average of 78 percent shooting accuracy, second only by two percent to Corowa-Rutherglen's Jess Bice in the clash.
The Magpies' premiership side remained much the same as last year with just two players stepping away since their first flag.
Wing defence Leah Jenvey left the team this season due to pregnancy, while defender Mikaela Trethowan also departed the nest.
It left open opportunities for the club's young guns to step forward, with Amelia Reilly rising to the challenge.
Reilly was one of five talented youngsters nominated for this year's netball rising star award and was a solid contributor for the Magpies during the grand final.
Keen said Reilly earned her spot in the side and was proud of her team for their intensity during the game.
"She came up and did a fantastic job in the wing-defence position and she thoroughly deserves her spot," Keen said.
"We've been working on the intensity side of things and we played a 60 minute game, which was fantastic."
