Mainers Speak - Guest Panel
Three people from the community who didn't set out to work with immigrants have found their lives intersecting with New Mainers through their work and volunteerism. They discuss the impact this shift in population has had on their careers and their personal lives.
Amy Fecteau (second from left) is in Human Resources, previously for Granite Bay Care (a social service agency in Portland comprised of 85-90% New Mainers) and has recently begun working at USM.
Wendy Harmon (on the right) has over 30 years of Property Management experience and she is a realtor at Keller Williams, specializing in residential and investment properties. She works in conjunction with Catholic Charities of Maine to find housing for newly arriving refugee individuals and families.
Jen Lunt (second from right) is an ELL teacher at Portland High School helping students to navigate their transitions into and out of high school while using an asset/strengths-based approach to education.
