Country Girl in a Big World

Country Girl in a Big World A Kansas ranch in the US is where I call home. Teaching my students through travel & learning as I go Traveling the world is an invaluable experience.

Country-Girl-Big-World is an idea I created after traveling out of the country for the first time in 2016. This experience opened my eyes on so many different topics and areas of life. Growing up in the middle of rural America was a unique experience and seeing another part of the world helped me connect what I knew and been taught and influenced growth in me as a person. It is humbling, fulfillin

g, and a necessity for all of us. I learned a greater appreciation for where I am from, but also for all those that I haven't been. I went looking for nature and beauty and along the way I learned how absolutely beautiful the people of the world are. As a teacher, my experiences are immersed within my teaching. I can't talk about biodiversity without sharing my experiences in the Amazon or the everglades of Florida. If we are discussing water density and salinity in the ocean, I bring up my snorkeling experiences near shore and out in the deep ocean. In 2016, I was blessed with a teacher travel grant from Rural School and Community Trust. That was the adventure that took me to the Galapagos, Machu Picchu, and the Amazon rainforest. This opportunity led me to where I am now; I went from teaching 5th grade all subjects to 7th and 8th grade science. My students are taught with as many hands-on opportunities that I can give them. Thank you all for supporting my page, career and photography.

🚨 Update from Interrogation Room 3: The Release ❄️
Zero remorse.
We asked her to ease up on the ice.
She laughed.
We stared frigidly.
She blamed Mother Nature, someone named Sven, and “the forecast.”

Unfortunately, the storm continues to roll this way and has decided to make the roads potentially slick as early as this afternoon, then continue through tonight and the weekend.

❄️ Winter weather incoming
🏠 Protect your home and bring pets inside
🧊 If you have to be out once the bottom falls out today, watch bridges & overpasses, conditions will change fast
📱 If you don’t have to drive, don’t

📚 And for the crowd: maybe skip the roads and grab something just spicy enough to stay warm and curled up all weekend. It's going to be a long one. Don't worry kids, she has been let go due to insufficient evidence.

Stay safe. Call us if you need us.🚔❄️

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: SUSPECT IN CUSTODY 🚨
The Moore Police Department would like to announce that the individual responsible for this incoming winter weather is finally behind bars.

Unfortunately, she already unleashed her powers before we could make the arrest. The winter storm is still coming.

❄️ ADVISORY: Drive slow, buckle up, and watch for slick spots over the coming days. The cold never bothered her anyway, but it will bother your commute. Stay safe! 🚔❄️
