Biography:

Patrick Vongchan works as a science teacher at the Nora School, a small, private high school in downtown Silver Spring, MD.

Patrick Vongchan earned dual degrees at UMBC in Biological Sciences and Psychology. Originally interested in a career in medicine, he found the industry to be far too impersonal. Looking for a field, which remained in the public service arena but with the capacity for interpersonal connections, he soon fell into education. Patrick now is in his 4th year at the Nora School where he instructs several science preps, serves as SGA faculty advisor and softball coach. Also an instructor for the Silver Spring Upward Bound Program, Patrick has accrued over 6 years of teaching experience.

Outside of school Patrick serves as a volunteer firefighter for the Silver Spring Fire Dept, is the Executive Director of Social Advocacy for the Thai Alliance in America and a previously ordained Buddhist Monk.
