She has served as executive director of the Vancouver Art Book Fair, overseeing its pivot to digital in 2020, as fundraising coordinator and program manager at the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre, and as coordinator at Kickstand Community Bikes. She founded a coworking space called Work Place and co-founded a comedy and zine festival called Unibrow Arts Festival. In her spare time, she is puttering around thinking about yummy food, or hunting for a new book and the strongest coffee.

Devon Tremain
Vendor and Volunteer Coordinator
devon[at]megaphonemagazine[dot]com
Devon (He/ Him) has lived his whole life in Coast Salish Territory and moved from Seattle to Vancouver in 2017. He grew up reading street papers and was a regular customer of Megaphone magazine for years before formally joining the team. Blown away by the quality of our monthly magazine and the warmth he felt from our vendors he encountered on the streets, Devon soon became a Mega-fan of Megaphone. After a short stint as a front desk volunteer, he was welcomed on as Megaphone's new People Coordinator where he continues to support our incredible vendors and volunteers. Devon full-heartedly believes in the healing nature of listening to and uplifting people's stories, and finds great joy watching people find empowerment through Megaphone. Devon's happiest moments are when he is backcountry hiking, engaged in photography or sharing stories with friends old and new.
