Connecticut College

Hi, everyone! My name is Devon and I’m from Massachusetts. This year, I will be graduating from Connecticut College as a Slavic Studies and History double major. My favorite things to do are learning and teaching languages. I have studied Spanish since seventh grade and I have also participated in two Russian immersion programs in Chisinau, Moldova and Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan during the summers of 2017 and 2019. I also studied away in Sofia, Bulgaria last year during the spring semester. In my free time, I enjoy playing the cello and the komuz (a Kyrgyz national instrument). I also like taking long walks outside, reading, and learning new recipes from around the world. I’m happy to be part of the American Home team this year and I’m looking forward to meeting everyone!
