D'Von Auna - Elementary School Campus


Mr. D'Von Auna grew up on the island of Oahu, Hawaii until moving to Arizona just a few years ago. Mr. D'Von earned his bachelor's degree in Social Work from Brigham Young University. D'Von followed his passion of serving individuals with special needs after watching his mother spend her career as a licensed family social worker. 

Mr. D'Von joined AZACS in 2017 as a paraprofessional  and was promoted into a lead teacher position after a few months. Mr. D'Von's tireless devotion to children is evident to all who interact with him. Outside of work, Mr. D'Von enjoys making jewelry and collecting shells. He takes every opportunity to get to the beach during school breaks.
