Chloe Felker, Graduate Assistant
(she/her), oms.ga@maine.edu
I am currently a graduate student in the Department of English pursuing my Masters in Gender and Literature. My research interests include but are not limited to feminist literature, 17th & 18th century literature, and British literature. I am originally from Phoenix, Arizona, but have lived in the UK, Flagstaff, and now Maine.
As both an undergraduate and graduate student, I have relied on scholarships to fund my education and support my research projects, including education abroad. For that reason, I am incredibly passionate about helping students secure funding to pursue their own academic and career goals.
I look forward to meeting with you and exploring upcoming scholarship opportunities!

Izzie Todhunter, Maine Top Scholars Administrative Specialist
umaine.topscholars@maine.edu
Hi there! I’m Izzie, the MTS administrative specialist at The University of Maine. I’m passionate about supporting students in their academic journeys. Currently, I’m a graduate student, finishing the last semester of my Master of Bioethics via distance learning at the University of Sydney (Australia). As an undergraduate student, I relied on several scholarships to help support my educational endeavors – which is why I’m dedicated to helping students secure the resources they need to achieve their academic and career goals. As someone who grew up in Australia and then moved to the US, I cherish the transformative experiences that travel offers. Exploring new cultures and broadening horizons is one of many amazing opportunities that scholarships make possible. I’m excited to meet with you and discuss upcoming scholarship opportunities.
