Andrea Merrill-Smidt

Member-at-Large

The 2022-23 school year is Andrea’s first year serving on the PTCA Executive Committee. She has one daughter at ANCS who is in the 1st grade. Her major interest is to support the needs of the special needs students, and their parents, and hear the needs of the educators. She is looking forward to meeting other parents and getting to know the school team better. She believes what makes ANCS special is its small size, everyone knows each other, and there is a strong sense of community.

Professionally, she just finished graduate school as an Occupational Therapist (hence her interest in the special needs community) and is trying to remember what hobbies are ;-) She loves to chill with a book, spend time in nature, hang out around water, and travel will always be a major one of her passions.
