Santos, Carolina

I am so glad to be joining the Brinker Elementary family!

I have seven years of teaching experience. I have had the privilege of working with students across multiple grade levels and locations. My teaching journey began in Austin, TX, and it has taken me through various parts of the state, including  Dallas, and now Plano. This year marks my fourth year in Plano ISD and my first year at Brinker Elementary.

Throughout my career, I have taught kindergarten, third, and fifth grade. This year, I am excited to begin a new chapter as a second-grade dual language teacher. I am passionate about fostering a supportive, engaging classroom environment where students feel valued and inspired to grow.

My goal is to invest time in building meaningful relationships with each of my students, nurturing both their academic growth and their motivation to become lifelong learners.
