HC Colby Profile: Meet Marina Takagi

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Colby chapter.

Marina is this year’s Events head at Her Campus Colby! She is a senior studying Art History and Global Studies with a human rights concentration. She is the manager and barista at Mary Low Coffee House, co-chair of the Museum Student Advisory Board, a member of the Asian Student Association, a research assistant for the Lunder Institute of American Art, and a member of Colby Dancers!

 

What is your favorite… 

Dining hall? Dana for breakfast and Foss for lunch/dinner!

Place at Colby? Mary Low Coffee House

Thing to do at Colby? Making yummy drinks at Mary Low or wandering the galleries of the Museum!

Movie? Hmm this is a hard one. Probably Amadeus or Black Swan.

Song? This changes every day! But my all-time favorite is probably “Halo” by Cage the Elephant. 

Thing to do off-campus? Since I have a car on campus this year, I love exploring different parts of Maine and then eating out afterward :) Most recently, I went to Rockland and had the most delicious carbonara. 

What is your dream job? I’d love to be an owner of a really cool art gallery in New York City (think: Rufus from Gossip Girl!)

What is your best Colby memory? Seeing my first shooting star over Johnson Pond in October of my freshman year 

Fun Fact! I was born in Tokyo and lived there until I was 8! I still speak Japanese at home.

On campus, Sydney is a COOT leader, member of Colby Dance Company, barista in the Mary Low Coffee House, a language assistant, and president of Colby's chapter of HC. When she isn't working, dancing, or writing, you can probably find her laughing at her own jokes or talking about the Midwest.
