My name is Tan Lam. I am a teacher and a scientist. I want to run for public office because our residents make about $15,000 less than those in adjacent areas; students perform poorly in math and science; 24 percent have college education, as compared to 48% of those in other areas.Growing up during the Vietnam War and refugee camps taught me the values of prudence, hard work, and caring. I worked hard to achieve American Dream, graduating from an Ivy League college. I want to help your family and your children to have the same opportunity I’ve been given.

Family:
Wife: Thuy (friendship and loyalty),
Daughter: Thy (poetry), and
Son: Triet (philosophy).

Education:

Dartmouth College, M.S., Biochemistry
Western Governors University, PBS, Education
Oral Roberts University, B.S., Biomedical Chemistry
Highline Community College, 80+ Credits, Business

Significant Career Experience:
I taught high school and college for 10 years. As a teacher, I have had many opportunities to interact with over 400 Asian, African American, Latino students and parents. My teaching experience provides me an opportunity to work extensively with people from varied socio-economic, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. My experience involved lecturing course information, explaining classroom activities, and communicating with students and parents.

In addition to teaching, I have had 10 years experience working with nonprofit organizations. I organize grantmakers-grantseekers forum to connect donors and nonprofit organizations.

Finally, as a research scientist, I worked with 32 fragile X syndrome families. Other research was focus on the epitope variation in CTL-resistant viruses. My research these required my independent analyze experimental results, design follow up experiments, modify techniques, and troubleshoot technical problems.
