Personal

Kean was born 27 February 1987.^[1]^[2]^[3] When she was two, her feet were amputated due to meningococcal septicaemia.^[1] She is nicknamed Bird because her friend Kate Dunstan in high school thought it was funny that her name sounded like Bird. Then, when she moved to the United States, her friends struggled to pronounce her first name correctly – it rhymes with "tidy" – when she was living there.^[1] And so, the nickname stuck. Her hometown is Parkdale, Victoria. An award in Kean's honour, acknowledging qualities of compassion and bravery, is each year presented to a student at Kilbreda College, where she went to school.^[2] {{As of|2012}}, she lives in Alexandra Headland, Queensland.^[3]
