Greetings! My name is An Tran and I am excited to join the J. Graham Brown School as a high school Chemistry teacher and 8th grade science teacher.

I am originally from Vietnam where I went to the University of Science - Vietnam National University to pursue my Bachelor’s degree in chemistry. I later moved to Louisville, KY where I was granted both of my Bachelor and Mater of Science in chemistry from the University of Louisville. When I was in Vietnam, I used to be an English tutor for a nine-year-old boy. The experience has sparked my interest in becoming a teacher.

I believe every child possesses unique strengths and potential; and education serves as the bridge that transforms curiosity into knowledge and opportunities into success. By fostering collaboration, open communication, and creativity in my classroom, I strive to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where all students can thrive. I look forward to contributing to the success and growth of the students at Brown High School to the best of my ability.

Hello, my name is Tammy Bradshaw-Cook and I am uber excited to be the new Risk Assessment Coordinator for the J. Graham Brown School family. This will be my fifth year with JCPS having spent the last four years as the Safety Administrator at Atherton High School. I have two children, Sierra (30) who is a University of Kentucky graduate, a newlywed and will soon begin her second of a four year doctoral program in Clinical Psychology at Chaminade University in Honolulu, Hawaii. My son, Gavin (26) has his Bachelor's degree in Africana Studies and a minor in History from Middle Tennessee State University and is also employed by JCPS. I retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army April 2022 prior to becoming an SA. I am proud to have served my country honorably for over 39 years having joined the U.S. Army Reserves as a 17 year old during my junior year at Southern High School. I have a BS in Elementary Education (1-8) and taught 13 years while in the Army Reserves, as well as a Master's degree in Post Secondary Higher Education from the University or Louisville. Protecting and being in the service of others and mentoring young people to become "Servant Leaders" has been and continues to be my life's work and I look forward to bringing that same enthusiasm and level of caring to the students and staff here at Brown. I am excited to be here and looking forward to an extraordinary year!

Hello, my name is Alex Hummel and I am thrilled to be the Elementary and Middle School PE/Health Teacher. This will be my first year in education as I just graduated from the University of Louisville… Go Cards.
I have had a lifelong passion for physical education and health and believe that every student deserves the opportunity to build confidence, stay active, and develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime. My goal is to create a positive, engaging and inclusive environment where every student feels welcomed, encouraged and excited to participate.
Outside of school, I enjoy playing golf, coaching basketball, and spending time with family and friends. I was born and raised in Louisville and graduated from Male High School.
I can’t wait to meet all of our students and families and become part of the Brown Community. I am looking forward to an amazing school year filled with learning, movement, teamwork, and fun.
“Success isn’t about being the best. It’s about being better than you were yesterday.”
Let’s have a fantastic year!
