So much so that she went to college for musical theater and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BFA from Metropolitan State University of Denver. Wherever she went, Devon continued to perform and began writing plays and short films along the way. She currently teaches Musical Theatre at the Musical Theatre Workshop in Augusta, GA.
