Rooted in the Vine, your plans flourish without striving; His peace becomes your pace—John 15
Fun Facts about Me
I’ve lived in Northern California for most of my life and graduated from a small university nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I earned my degree in Business and Entrepreneurship—you could say I was always meant to do this work!
In early 2020, I met my best friend and now husband on eHarmony—God truly has the best timing. In 2022, I moved to San Antonio and got married—again, a reminder that His plans are always perfect.
I’m a wife, mom to a Corgi, and a follower of Jesus. I light up when I bring order to chaos—seriously, I love checklists!
When I’m not at the computer, you’ll usually find me:
Spending quality time with my family
Enjoying the sunshine on a walk
Deep in a good Bible study
Writing—my journey began with a love of poetry,
and I still carry that passion for words today
More About Me
I’m Nicole Keeler, your behind-the-scenes, Donor Development Coordinator who finds purpose in the steady, unseen work that helps ministries thrive. My passion lives where faith meets structure… where donor retention becomes an ongoing expression of gratitude… and where a well-organized CRM becomes a reliable bridge between generosity and long-term impact.
I’ve supported ministries and nonprofits by gathering scattered donor stories, bringing clarity to data, and helping leaders breathe a little easier. I’ve learned that when the roots are cared for—the systems, the relationships, the intentional follow-up, the fruit arrives in its time, strong and lasting.
I started Nicole Keeler Virtual Vine after 10 years of working in a corporate office, retail shops providing customer relationship management. My latest job, I worked as a Development Coordinator for Adult & Teen Challenge.
This was the seed to my desire: to help non-profit leaders find rest, rhythm, and relief in your work.
I know what it’s like to carry too much—to feel called to something meaningful, but overwhelmed by the behind-the-scenes tasks. That’s where I come in.
I love organizing, planning, entering in every detail. My heart beats for creating long lasting customer relationships. The Nurture that can only come from a human, and not a bot. That doesn't mean I don't believe in streamlining processes with automations.
With years of experience in ministry, admin, and behind-the-scenes support, I offer more than just task help—I bring peace, prayer, and practical solutions.
My heart is to come alongside nonprofit founders—and serve with excellence, consistency, and grace.

Roads that led me home
Roads that led me home
Roads that led me home is a reflection on the sacred roads we travel—both literal and spiritual. These are the paths where faith is tested, where beauty and brokenness meet, and where God’s presence transforms even the most familiar landscapes into holy ground.
This poem is part of Songs from the Valley: Where I Found Him, a collection of heart-songs written in seasons of wonder, repentance, and renewal. May these words remind you that every path, even the ones that end in shadow, can lead us back to the Light.
Roads that led me Home
The roads I drove time and again
until I had memorized them.
Some roads led me to the most breathtaking views
under the heavens.
Roads that led me home
Some roads led me to the darkest valleys,
which led me to repentance—
where I was forged in fire
and learned to trust the Lord alone.
Some roads led me to dead ends—
these roads where I dreamed many dreams with You;
some made out of a fairytale,
some made out of the Scriptures of gold.
Roads that led me home
The lapis, emerald, and turquoise waters
reflect my day as well as my soul—
the brightest lights that flashed
and danced along your surface.
Roads that led me home.
Eyes of the Residents
I’ve seen your paths through the eyes of the residents—
through the elegant mountain Chickadee
and noisy Blue Steller Jays.
Roads that led me home
I’ve followed the footprints
of the cinnamon Crest Mama duck.
My heart broke with the Black Bears
as I fought for your freedom.
To a sea of ladybugs on your sandy shores—
I saw you through those who made you home.
Roads that led me home.
A path walked many times.
About Songs in the Valley: Where I found Him
These are poems — psalms, really — written over the years through my walk with the Lord. For a long time, they lived quietly in the pages of my journals. I began sharing a few with close friends, and their encouragement stirred something in me: perhaps these words were meant to be shared.
Much of this writing was shaped by my years living in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in a small town called Incline Village, nestled near Lake Tahoe. A place of breathtaking beauty — 6,400 feet above sea level, home to about 9,000 souls. What once was a family vacation spot became my backyard: where I hiked, went to school, escaped, and found home.
It’s where I fell in love with my husband — and where my faith was forged in both mountain peaks and deep valleys.
These poems are my modern-day psalms — songs of the heart from the valleys and mountaintops of life. My hope is that as you read, you’ll find pieces of your own story woven between the lines, and perhaps a glimpse of the same faithful God who met me there.
