About+Miss+Watkins

 **Hi every ****one! I’m Danielle ****Mari ****e Watkins. I am a Pisces, born and raised in Ventura County. **


 * I have one younger sister Deanna. ****We have a huge family with 3 uncles, 5 aunts, 16 first cousins, and many little ones starting to pop up. It takes effort to get us all together, but when we do – we have a great time! **


 * I also have a wonderful boyfriend, Brandon. We have a Yorkie named Mandi! She is the world’s best pet! .[[image:004.JPG width="171" height="135" align="right" caption="Mandi"]] **


 * I brought in the new millinneum by graduating from Rio Mesa High School in the Class of 2000! After receiving my Associate's Degree from Ventura College, I transferred to California State University, Northridge and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Cinema and Television Arts in 2005. Most recently, I've received a Teaching Credential and Master's Degree in Education from Azusa Pacific University. **


 * After working in “the biz” for a bit – I decided to return to school to pursue teaching. Now that I've completed graduate school - I so look forward to one day having my very own classroom! Any grade would be wonderful, but I especially enjoy the primary grades.[[image:Me_and_Matthew.jpg width="142" height="133" align="right" caption="My friend Matthew and I :)"]] **
