Devon Hupka is a 3rd year undergraduate student at the University of Alberta, currently studying human physiology. Along with being a FSCHF board member, Devon donates much of his time to other volunteer positions such as: a teaching assistant for Honours Introductory Physiology course (PHYSL 212/214) at the University of Alberta, the VP Academic for the Undergraduate Physiology Students’ Association, and a regular volunteer in the emergency department as FSCH.
Devon is a very motivated and driven person. After tutoring high school students for many years Devon decided that a great way to reach a larger clientele base and provide his peers with employment would be to start his own business. After developing a website and hiring other university students, Devon had started his own small business which, under his leadership, has proven to be very successful, with more than seven employees and 40 clients total.
Through his many hours of work in these positions, Devon has been able to develop strong leadership, problem solving, and communication skills. Which has proved to be a valuable asset to the FSCHF and the communications committee.
Devon has always wanted to help people. His work with the FSCHF has been a great way to do this as the foundation’s work directly impacts those right here in our community.
