About the Authors

Hello Portland was started by Mike Warren and Madison Hopkins. Mike is a Computer Science student at the Roux Institute and Madison just started her residency at Maine Medical Center.

When we just moved to Portland in June, we were excited to explore everything the city had to offer; however, we had a difficult time finding events in Maine that we were actually interested in. We selfishly started Hello Portland to help ourselves find events… but we hope you enjoy it as much as we do and find some things to do that you may not have found otherwise!
