Meet the Team at LearningRx Shoreview!
Julie Keller
Executive Director and Owner
It’s not every day you walk into a brain training center run by a parent and child—but at LearningRx Shoreview, family and purpose go hand in hand. What began as a shared passion for unlocking potential has grown into a thriving, mission-driven collaboration dedicated to helping others strengthen the cognitive skills that fuel learning and life.
Julie Keller, Executive Director and Owner of LearningRx Shoreview, MN, brings a deep and diverse background in education, nonprofit leadership, and strategic consulting to her role. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from St. Olaf College and a Master’s degree in Nonprofit Management from the Humphrey Institute at the University of Minnesota.
Over the course of her career, Julie has contributed her expertise to a wide range of organizations, including the Minnesota Department of Education’s Head Start program. She has served as a consultant to nonprofits, government agencies, and community initiatives, supporting their strategic planning, program development, and evaluation efforts. She is also the co-founder of The Mama Ada Foundation, which supports education and small-scale farming in Africa through scholarships and grassroots development.
Julie is thrilled to bring her passion for meaningful, results-driven work to LearningRx. She was drawn to the program’s science-backed approach and its powerful ability to identify and strengthen the core cognitive skills that impact learning. What excites her most is how brain training doesn’t just boost academic performance—it builds confidence and changes lives.
Every day, Julie is inspired by the growth she sees in her students and the stories she hears from families. She believes deeply in the power of unlocking potential and is honored to help individuals of all ages discover just how capable they truly are—with the right tools, the right training, and a little encouragement.

Evan is a graduate of Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where he earned his degree in History and served in Student Government. It was during this time that Evan discovered his passion for teamwork and strategic problem-solving—skills he now brings into every aspect of his work. Whether organizing initiatives or working toward shared goals, he thrives in environments where people are united by purpose.
A former competitive swimmer for more than a decade, Evan also developed a strong foundation in perseverance, discipline, and goal setting. He understands what it takes to push through challenges and celebrate progress—lessons that align closely with the LearningRx mission.
