Devon continues to shine her light as a trauma informed education specialist, teaching children the tools to self-regulate and working in alignment with educators, administrators, and staff to support and empower them in incorporating trauma informed best practices into their spaces so that all students may be successful.
Teachers post-covid have struggled with the “new student.” In her current role as a Mentor Behavior Coach, Devon aims to provide teachers with a sense of safety and belonging, as well as provide intentional and concrete tools for what teachers can do differently.
As a former middle school science teacher, she created trauma sensitive spaces for her students. Her strengths in the classroom included recognizing the trauma response in others, teaching self-regulation tools, and working in conjunction with her students to develop personalized solutions to learning barriers.
Devon has a masters degree in biology and certifications in trauma informed yoga, for both children and adults. She is a former member of the Carroll County Board of Education.
She continues to learn, experiment in conjunction with her students and colleagues, and to put this message into the world so that other educators can benefit from it.
