Mrs. Andrea Merboth To All Instructors

Andrea has a BA in Occupational Therapy and was class president her senior year at the College of St. Catherine, verbally representing her classmates to the professors. She homeschooled 4 children and was a high school Sunday School teacher for ten years as well as a coach/leader in Bible Quizzing for twelve years. She participated in the Institute for Cultural Communicators (ICC) for three years and was involved in both their speech/communications program and their debate program. She also has taught Speech for four years at two homeschool academies and has directed several plays, one-acts and skits, all which help to develop a student’s ability to speak in public. Comfort on stage and before the microphone has opened many doors to Andrea and proven that those who are willing, comfortable and skilled in public speaking will be the voice that is heard in a crowd. Andrea participates in art events and exhibits throughout the Twin Cities and has taught art classes for many years to varied age groups, primarily to the homeschool population. She also paints furniture, walls, fabric, sets for plays she has directed, room murals, and commercial projects. She holds that all forms of communication, including the arts, have the ability to either draw you towards or away from the truths of God. She believes that the beauty in the arts is a reflection of God and can empower students to find creative ways to share Him with the world.
