Fabian is a recent graduate of the iSchool and also holds a bachelor's degree in natural resources and environmental sciences from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He previously served as a graduate assistant at the Communications Library, gymnastics coach at Champaign Gymnastics Academy, and Uber driver.

"I love the mission, people, and diverse worldviews and ideas that permeate throughout the iSchool," said Fabian. "I look forward both to working with a team that is equally passionate about the School and to getting to know the students, faculty, and staff who visit the main office. Please stop by to say hello!"

In his free time, Fabian enjoys going to new restaurants and bars with his fiancée, Mira, as well as watching movies and TV series with her and his cats. His personal hobby is Dungeons and Dragons, especially designing and running campaigns as a Dungeon Master.
