Keaton Cloven

Educator - Crystal River Elementary School

Keaton (Ms. Pizza), a Colorado native, continues to be in awe of the Colorado mountains she calls home. She graduated from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota in 2022 with a B.A. in Environmental Biology, with an emphasis in Zoology and Sustainability. Quickly after, she returned to Colorado to pursue an M.A. in Science Education with a fellowship at Walking Mountains Science Center through the University of Northern Colorado. In 2024, Keaton brought her passion for outdoor education to Yosemite National Park, where she taught with NatureBridge for a year. She is overjoyed to be back in Colorado and teach with ACES, where she looks forward to teaching in a classroom and building longer lasting relationships with her students. Outside of teaching, Keaton enjoys playing soccer and volleyball, hiking, camping, sewing, or whatever type of craft she is currently fixated on. Around town, you might spot her walking her dog, Raisin.
