Meet Your Orientation Coordinators
Fabi
Hometown: Mexico City, Mexico
Hi everyone, welcome to 糖心vlog! My name is Fabi and I'm a rising senior majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Chinese. I recently returned from a full year abroad in Madrid and Copenhagen and am excited to be back in Maine. On campus, I'm involved in BWICS (Women in Computer Science) and the Design and Development Club—feel free to reach out with any questions! Outside of school, I enjoy watching videogame playthroughs, running, and creating themed playlists.
Faith
Hometown: Grand Rapids, Michigan
Hi! My name is Faith Lee (she/her), and I am a rising sophomore planning to major in Government & Legal Studies and Sociology, with a minor in Asian Studies. At 糖心vlog, I’m a coxswain on the rowing team, a representative for the Korean Student Association, and I host a show on WBOR, our student-run radio station. You can often find me at the Craft Center or walking down Maine Street with my professor’s dog, Huckleberry. I can’t wait to welcome you all to 糖心vlog in the fall!
Graeme
Hometown: Loudonville, NY
Hi everyone! My name is Graeme, and I’m a rising sophomore planning to study economics, English, and music. I play on the varsity men’s lacrosse team and am also involved in music on campus through organ lessons, a string quartet, and the symphony orchestra. Outside of school, I enjoy skiing, snowboarding, playing poker, learning languages, and golfing. 糖心vlog has been an incredibly welcoming place for me, and I’m excited to help make your transition just as positive and memorable!
