Greetings Trip Community! My name is Seth Abdurahman (ab-doo-rah-man). I was born in Washington, DC. I grew up there, California, Maryland, and here in Georgia. I have a master's degree in Elementary Education with an undergrad in Sociology and French from UGA. I'm also a proud husband, and father of four children: one girl and three boys. I enjoy reading, studying languages, and spending time with my family. I look forward to a wonderful year of teaching, learning, and growing.

Ms. Hope Abraham

Hello RAMS and RAM families!  My name is Hope Abraham. I am a native of South Carolina, and a mother of one. I have taught for many years in the states of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. I love time with family, traveling, COFFEE and positivity.  I am looking forward to working with you and your child to have an AMAZING school year. My favorite quote is "SHOOT" for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. My mission is to make sure your child SHINES BRIGHT in everything they do. Let's have a SPECTACULAR year. 

Ms. Sarah Browning

I am so excited to be working at Trip Elementary! I was born and raised in Gwinnett County so I especially love that I get to also teach in Gwinnett County. I started teaching in 2000 after graduating from Georgia College and State University and later from Piedmont College with my masters degree. I am happily married to my husband Darren and we have 2 beautiful daughters, Ashlyn and Ava. Some of my favorite things are running, shopping, reading, chocolate, UGA football, sports, and my church. Life is good!

Ms. Mizraim Cintron Maldonado

Hello Third Grade! My name is Mizraim Cintron Maldonado (I know, my name is super long!) but my students call me Ms. Maldonado. I have a Master's Degree in Human Resources and worked in Business for a while, but I wanted to make a career change when I became a mom. Best decision ever! I  am Certified in Elementary Education, hold a Spanish Certification, and a Gifted Endorsement. 
 
My family and I are originally from Puerto Rico and moved to Georgia with our kids. I have two wonderful children, Sofia and Jahziel, and an amazing husband named Pedro. When I am not at school, I love to relax at home with the fam, watch movies, and binge watch my favorite shows, sing, cook and bake.  

I absolutely love teaching, having lots of fun learning, and seeing students reach their full potential!

Ms. Vicki Wrobel

I have been involved with education one way or another since 1995. Trip Elementary is a great place to continue this journey. I have lived in many places, including Alaska, Texas, and Tennessee, but I have lived in Georgia since 1996. I am married and have two wonderful daughters, neither of whom live at home anymore! I love my cats almost as much as my kids, and I'm pretty sure they know that. When I'm not teaching, I can be found working with community theater organizations in the area.
