Default Is my orchid sick? (pitted leaves)

Hi guys! I'm a newbie here so allow me to introduce myself. I'm currently a freshman at Northern Arizona University and moved here over the summer from Iowa. I'm perusing a degree in secondary math education and mathematics because I love helping kids grow and thrive just like my plants! My expertise in plants doesn't extend to orchids unfortunately.

I used to have an Orchid back home in Iowa that I took care of all of high school and never had any issues with. I even got it to bloom a couple times! Exciting stuff I know, especially for someone that doesn't normally deal with flowering plants. Anyways, I had to give my girl away to a new home when I moved. So when I got home from break and went to the nursery with my dad I saw some orchids and had to get one. However, silly me didn't think to check the leaves, I was more concerned with finding one that didn't have that many buds blossomed yet. Oops.

So here's my issue. I noticed today that my orchid, which I have named Stella, has some pitted leaves. They aren't yellow or black. So I don't think it is a fungus or bacteria and I should lose all hope. However I did notice there is some white "fuzz" for a lack of a better word under the leaves. This makes me think the culprit might be spider mites. Once again, I'm not sure and I don't know any orchid appropriate solutions. I do have the orchid in quarantine away from my other plants just in case. It is in bright indirect light that's what worked for me in Iowa and I'm following the same watering routine I did back home. I've attempted to upload some photos as well. So hopefully that worked.

I apologize if this was just a ramble. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
