Devon is currently an Alumni Ambassador through her alma mater, Ball State University. The Alumni Ambassador Program seeks to provide education and mentorship to prospective BIPOC students in the arts and current students within the Department of Theatre and Dance at Ball State University. The Alumni Ambassadors supply accessible resources to communities in need, and in turn, break down barriers of privilege that keep theatre and dance artists from entering the industry.
