Devon Glenn

Devon was born in Toms River, NJ and raised in Atlantic County. She and her husband Eric reside in Somers Point with their beautiful baby girl.

Devon is a licensed aesthetician and medical assistant with a passion for helping people look and feel their best. That passion led her to a career at Connolly Dermatology working closely with Dr. Coyle Connolly, allowing her to gain the knowledge needed to embrace both clinical and cosmetic dermatology. She started with the practice over 4 years ago and currently oversees the Aesthetic Department. Devon knows the importance of having annual skin cancer checks, so she volunteers her time to organizations such as the AAD to work at skin cancer screenings.

She is also trained in the Visia Complexion Analysis system, the first skin care photographic imaging tool that provides clinical measurement of surface and subsurface facial skin conditions, as well as indicating sun damage. With the specific results from the analysis, Devon makes optimized recommendations for specific treatments and regimens to improve skin conditions and potentially reverse the signs of aging from sun damage. The majority of Devon’s spare time is spent with her family enjoying their newborn baby girl.

Tracie is a former Seventh Grade Special Education Teacher and Realtor who grew up in West Deptford Township, Gloucester County and moved to Margate Beach in 2001. She left teaching due to an unexpected illness caused by the school’s poor indoor air quality issues related to mold. Tracie considers the move to Atlantic County as one of her best decisions because it enabled her to regain her health and meet her husband.

With Charles, she began a new career at Miami Somers and immersed herself in Quickbooks and Customer Service for the various products they sell such as Awnings, Windows, Doors, Shutters, and Sunrooms. As much as Tracie enjoyed working there full-time, parenthood changed everything, and the daily responsibilities at Miami Somers were passed to their highly competent Office Manager, Christine.
