Glover is a proud member of the Métis community with roots in the Paddle Prairie Métis Settlement

She is described by school staff as a “bridge-builder” who leads through her kindness and humility.

“Rather than seeking the spotlight, she focuses on ensuring every student feels included,” as written in a press release. “Her integrity was famously on display during a recent school production; when her name was accidentally omitted from the cast list, Aven continued her work with grace and diligence, never complaining, and prioritizing the collective success of her peers over personal recognition.”

Outside of the classroom, Glover serves as a leader for the Fish in Schools (FinS) project, where she manages to raise Rainbow Trout from eggs to adults and releases them into the wild.

Meanwhile, she is committed to carrying on the legacy of her ancestors, as she was inspired by her great-grandfather. She currently participates in the Indigenous Youth Mentorship Program, practices traditional beading, and is dedicated to learning Cree and Michif phrases.
