A bit of a nomad, Jordan planted herself in the rich ecosystem of Western North Carolina to gain her degree in Wilderness Leadership & Experiential Education with a minor in English. She spent much of her career coordinating programming and community partnerships for REI. She is passionate about cross-sector collaborations which positively impact our communities, especially regarding the responsible care of the earth, human rights, and the arts. She is often exploring a nearby creek or trail with her family, hosting friends over a homemade meal, studying art, or reading a great book.
