My name is Hope Brinkman and I am excited to join kindergarten team at Barton Pond!

I grew up in Charlotte and attended college at UNC Chapel Hill. I majored in Child Development and Family Studies. I've taught kindergarten for the last 16 years in Chapel Hill.

I live in Raleigh with my husband Zach, daughter Audrey (3), and son Isaac (10 months). We love exploring the area and trying out new restaurants. We are huge sports fans and love spending time outside.
