“I decided to become a teacher because I love helping children and I love music. I was called to Concordia for my first call to teach upper grade Social Studies and teach music education. In a Christian school, we are able to teach about God through all the subjects. Concordia is a great place to grow in faith and to experience a wide variety of excellent education in many areas.”
