Devon’s true passion lies in teaching. She finds immense joy in guiding students through the intricacies and nuances of historical analysis and witnessing their excitement as they grasp the significance of history for the first time.
A proud graduate of the Agnes Irwin School, an all-girls school just outside Philadelphia, Devon’s path to teaching was non-linear. Yet, it’s no surprise that she’s found her niche in a community shaped and led by formidable women and girls. Her students and advisees would describe her as honest, intuitive, and loyal, with a dash of sarcastic wit resulting from her Philadelphia upbringing.
