Ashley (Brunkhorst) Strecker was born and raised in Concordia, MO. She attended St. Paul's Lutheran Grade School from pre-school through eighth grade. She then went on to attend St. Paul's High School. After graduating high school, she went onto elementary education with a concentration in early childhood development. With her husband Kyle, she went on to teach in Chicago Heights for three years. After that Ashley was lucky to stay at home and raise their two children, Elena and Noah. Over the last few years, Ashley has been a substitute teacher and a teacher aide in Atchison, KS, and in Excelsior Springs, MO. She is very excited to be back to teaching here at St. Pauls
