Marsha Talley has a Master’s degree in Special Education and has become an expert in her field as an educator. She has worked in this area for over a decade, taught in two different countries, and maintains her teaching certificate in the state of Texas. Her passion for education started as a young child in Jamaica, yet it has continued to transcend beyond the classroom. Currently she is working as an English and Reading teacher at MacArthur High school. In addition to her teaching duties, she is also a part of the leadership and campus development team. She was campus representative Ignite, a program which seeks to empower young women in their society through politics.

Talley's philosophy on education is simple: Allow students to learn through a variety of ways that will enable them to tap into their potential. "As an educator, I believe it is my job to de-mystify the educational process so that the benefits are accessible and practical to all my students. I seek to do this by always making my lessons relevant to my student demographics, using materials and resources that allow these students to see the link between what we are teaching in the classroom and what is happening in the world around them. Ultimately, my goal is to help all my students understand that the activation of knowledge is indeed power," Ms. Talley states.

Talley is the CEO and founder of Silhouette's Cafe, a company that seeks to provide products including supplements which promotes health and wellness. In fact, the company has recently launched its own brand of essential oils. These are 100% pure and therapeutic grade oil base alternatives that can complement pharmaceutical medicines or replace over the counter medicines. Through these and other items, she is able to run a thriving business with hopes to open a storefront in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for the second time. 

As a mother of a bright and highly intelligent young girl, Ms. Talley has managed to balanced work, business, and raising a family. She plans to continue to grow in all capacity of life: as a parent, business owner, motivational speaker and teacher.
