Andy Pham
Youth Engagement Coordinator
Hello! My name is Andy and I am a 1st generation Vietnamese-American college graduate. My life goal is to dismantle systems of of racial oppression and build a world of compassion and healing. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, hanging out with friends, reading adventure books, throwing a frisbee, eating delicious food and watching football! Fun fact about me: I used to have ridiculously short hair in middle and high school. Try to find a photo!!! Let's get connected if you want to learn more about our after-school program. We have fun, I promise.
Rachael Parks
Youth Engagement Specialist
Hello! I am "Ms. Rachael"! I graduated from Western Washington University in 2019 with A BA in Cultural Anthropology and a BS in Psychology. I grew up right here in Auburn-going to a lot of the same schools that Firwood Circle students attend! I really love teaching about social emotional learning, healing from trauma and social justice!
In my free time, I love spending time with loved ones, playing guitar, reading, hiking/ being outside, playing with animals, watching way too much Netflix, napping like a pro, and baking treats for everyone around me! (Stick around and you are sure to taste some!)
I am so happy to be here!
