Hello! My name is Mina DeVore and I’m looking to have a year full of adventures before heading to college in August. I was born and raised in southern Oregon in a small hippy town named Ashland, and I can teach you how to hippy dance if you ask. I care a lot about environmental protection and social justice, and have been an activist for both causes. I am half Japanese, and am a dual citizen of the U.S. and Japan. I am spontaneous and will not turn down an adventure or a new experience! I am a violinist and guitarist, and can sing a bit too. I also enjoy drawing, painting, and sculpture. One of my favorite artists is Egon Schiele. This year, I am hoping to travel the world playing music and making art, and getting inspiration from new people and places. 🌿
