Ngoc (Ruby) Do

My name is Ngoc (Ruby) Do, and I am bilingual in Vietnamese and English. I have been living in the United States since 2013. I completed my Associate Degree in Computer Science and a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration. I started my job as an ESL Educational Assistant at ½ûÂþÌìÌà where I am dedicated to helping children acquire essential skills for their success and assisting families in navigating the system. I am excited about supporting the Vietnamese community through an equitable lens and strengthening the bond between families and the school district. I believe in the power of collaboration by sharing experiences because "None of us knows everything, but together we know a lot."

Mirna Ghamrawi

My journey with ½ûÂþÌìÌà began in 2015 in the ESL department, supporting newcomer elementary students to adjust to their new world and learn a new language. I am currently in the department of Civil Rights as the community agents team manager. My goal is to use the tools available to me in this role to align the community agents' purpose and mission with ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ's vision of the graduate portrait. I have the privilege to lead and support a team of community agents. This is a team of bilingual, bicultural individuals who support and advocate for our underserved immigrant and refugee families and their students as they navigate ½ûÂþÌìÌà systems and processes. Away from work, I enjoy being active in the beautiful city of Portland and creating delicious and colorful meals for my family.
