Just before college, Devin was diagnosed with a lifelong heath condition that forced her to delay her UA start date by one year. To Devin, this was a minor hurdle that served as a propelling force towards her future successes. Devin has worked diligently to support herself through school, working 20-40 hours per week in addition to her involvement in numerous organizations on campus. Devin has held leadership positions in her sorority, Chi Omega and as the vice president of internal affairs for the Panhellenic Executive Council.

 

Devin was one of only 13 outstanding seniors selected to be members of the Bobcats Senior Honorary. She was elected president of this prestigious honorary and is only the second female in the organization’s 91-year history to hold this position. Devin was selected to be on the Fiesta Bowl Court, where she acted as an official ambassador for all projects, events and philanthropies. During her tenure, she participated in over a dozen service projects and acted as a role model to young women across the state.

 

Devin will attend graduate school to earn a master’s degree in higher education leadership. She has been so tremendously impacted by her experience at the UA that she is pursuing a career that will allow her to better the experiences of college students. She hopes to ultimately end up back at her alma mater, paying it forward to future Wildcats.
