Keyshla J. Carrero

Law Clerk
Growing up split between Puerto Rico and Florida since the age of 2, Keyshla learned early in life what it feels like to navigate complex family dynamics. What initially felt like adversity turned into her calling later in life. Keyshla realized at a young that she wanted to spend her life helping families find clarity and support during their hardest moments.
Keyshla double majored in Political Science and Sociology at Florida State University before moving to Colorado in 2018. Keyshla joined Jones Law Firm as a paralegal in 2020. She transitioned into her role as a law clerk after she began pursuing her law degree at the University of Colorado. In her short time at CU Law, Keyshla has served as the President of the Latinx Law Students Association and the President of Christian Legal Society.
Keyshla is fully bilingual in English and Spanish. She is described as bringing a calm, highly empathetic presence to every client interaction, ensuring no one ever feels like just another case file. Keyshla takes immense pride in building a career rooted in service and community. She is especially interested in assisting members of the Hispanic community with gaining access to law.
What you might not know: Keyshla’s law school journey came with an unexpected plot twist: she met her fiancé, Connor, while in class during their first year of law school. After passing the bar exam in the summer of 2027, the couple plans to celebrate by getting married in San Juan, Puerto Rico. When she is not busy with school or work, Keyshla recharges by journaling, taking dance classes, and spending time with her pet, Kitty Luna.
