Marsha Strunk grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and attended Olivet Nazarene University, a small school located just outside Chicago, Illinois.  During her time in college, she worked in an office and spent two summers assisting missionaries in Nicaragua and Peru.  Both jobs strongly influenced her decision to become a teacher.

She has taught in Missouri, Illinoi and Ohio and has spent the last twenty-two years teaching English in Minco, Oklahoma.  Mrs. Strunk served as president of her local association for ten years; and in a most remarkable meeting in 2000, all teachers in the district joined the Professional Oklahoma Educators association.  She has also served on the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence and as a member of the ACE Task Force.  Mrs. Strunk is excited to serve Professional Oklahoma Educators because it meets the needs of children and teachers.

Mrs. Strunk has three grown children and two grandchildren.  She enjoys music and reading; and since 2003, Marsha has taken five groups of students and adults to Europe.
