Devon is one of the hardest working paddlers in the industry. Proving herself as a National Board certified teacher and one of the top women pro paddlers. She's also taken an interest in encouraging young adults to focus and participate in sports instead of drug use, through the "D.A.R.E to Kayak" program. She is currently teaching for the Huge Experiences Junior Program. In addition to all of this, she is still one of the hardest training paddlers on the river.
