Xin Chào,

My name is Ken Tran.  I work at Graham Hill as a Vietnamese Instructional Assistant, and support multilingual students in the classroom.  If you need assistance in Vietnamese, please call or email me at any time.

I was born in Vietnam, and moved to the US when I was 14 years old.  As an immigrant, I went through many similar challenges that our English Language Learner students and families are going through right now, and I am happy to help out as much as I can.  In my free time, I enjoy walking my dog, playing sports and learning creative writing.

Hi (Hola)

My name is Esther Vazquez, I’m from Puerto Rico. This is my 5th year as an Instructional Assistant at GH.  I speak Spanish. I love this school and the diverse culture we have here.  One of my passions is helping students to achieve their goals in school and have learning experiences that they can take everywhere they go.

I have been working in a dual language immersion program with students from many countries.  I’m so proud of being part of the blue whale families at Graham Hill. In my free time I love cooking, dancing and spending time with my family.

I am honored to start my 11th year teaching here at Graham Hill in grade 5. I live in south Seattle and taught at Rainier View for the past four years. I am passionate about project based learning and student collaboration. I spent the first 6 years of my teaching career in Korea and Beirut at international schools. I enjoy traveling but appreciate the PNW and being with my family here.

10 a.m. - 12 p.m. at Graham Hill
