My name is Brandy Martin. I was born and raised in San Antonio Texas, and attended Texas A&M University in College Station where I received my degree in Elementary Education.     This is my first year at Aldridge Elementary, but I have taught in both Richardson and Plano ISD now for 7 years.  Before this year I taught third and fourth grade, and was also a Special Education teacher.  When I am not teaching, I am attending band functions at Plano East Senior High, going to basketball and soccer games,  walking and playing outdoors, sewing, baking, and watching movies with my husband and 5 children.
