Devon was born in Northern California before migrating to Oregon with her dad in 1990. She lived in Bend before moving to London. Devon stayed in England for 10 years where she received a BSc in Biology from Liverpool JM University. After graduation she traveled the world and volunteered at wildlife sanctuaries in Thailand and Bolivia. From there she returned to the US where she became enamored with raptors and other winged creatures. Devon has worked on numerous bird surveys in the US. She also worked for Hawkwatch International for many seasons as an educator and a bander.

Besides bird watching Devon loves to fish, though she is not very good at it, hike and enjoy the fresh air. To pay her bills Devon works as the membership coordinator for the Oregon Natural Desert Association (ONDA).
