Devon Ban
Devon joined Columbia Cottage in 2025, but has been happily serving seniors and their families in the greater Harrisburg area since January, 2021. Before this time however, she was working with a different group of seniors and their families: those in high school seeking enrollment in college as an admissions counselor. This unique professional experience has made her keenly empathetic to those making major life decisions and she seeks every opportunity to be a resource to families navigating the senior living space. Proudly holding degrees from Penn State University and a Master’s degree in Theology from Holy Apostles College and Seminary, Devon is passionate about learning and takes time to educate her clients, create personalized experiences for understanding and makes sure they feel empowered to make the best decisions for themselves.
