About Me
Hi! I'm Jordan.
I am a May 2012 graduate from Michigan State University. My time as a Spartan included communication studies, two study abroad experiences, a ton of athletic events, and a presidency.
I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Communication, a specialization in public relations and a minor in Spanish. I earned a 3.83 GPA and an Outstanding Senior 2012 Award, an honor given to only 25 seniors at each graduation to those students with high campus and community involvement, excellent academics, and the characteristics of a Spartan.
My communication and Spanish studies took me to Europe on two study abroad trips. I spent 5 weeks in the UK studying mass media and 8 weeks in Spain studying Spanish language, literature and culture.
I had the privilege of serving as the President of the Undergraduate Communication Association my senior year. UCA is a pre-professional registered student organization at MSU that acts as a resource for students in the communication major.
I was a four-year member of the Izzone, the MSU men's basketball student section, and I never missed a home football game as a student. Aside from being an MSU sports fanatic, I am a certified SCUBA diver, a popcorn addict and an aspiring world traveler. My professional interests include event planning, social media and anything communication.

“I worked closely with Jordan while she interned in our Governmental Affairs Department at the Michigan Credit Union League. We could always count on her to take on tasks with interest and determination. She was not afraid to jump in and help out at a moments notice and could always be relied on to do a job well done. She is detailed oriented, a hard worker and fun to be around. I would highly recommend Jordan for a position in any professional office setting.”

“Jordan is an excellent communicator who provided important support to our state and federal government affairs team over the past year. Her previous experience working in a fast-paced corporate setting allowed her to hit the ground running. She is professional, detail-oriented, hard working and consistently proved to be capable of increasingly complex tasks and projects.
During her time in government affairs, she drafted correspondence with lawmakers, coordinated targeted political fundraising efforts, and communicated the importance of our political advocacy programs to our member CEOs. Most importantly, Jordan's friendly personality (always willing to help) complimented the entire MCUL & Affiliates Lansing office team. I strongly recommend Jordan for any full-time position she pursues.”

“When I first met Jordan, I was initially impressed with her friendliness, her upbeat enthusiasm, her great communication skills and her professional demeanor. During the time that Jordan helped in our department, she consistently demonstrated all of those same qualities and more. Jordan is not only reliable and dedicated, she also illuminates this “can-do” attitude that somehow lights up the room and raises the spirits of everyone around her. Even during those times that our department staff “bombarded” her with work, she always managed to remain calm and upbeat, while continuing to multitask effectively and efficiently. Her ability to learn a new task and handle a high-volume workload is exemplary. Jordan consistently met or surpassed all my expectations. She is a hardworking, top-performing professional, and I can honestly say wholeheartedly that she has my highest recommendation and endorsement!”

“Jordan was a dedicated, inspirational President for the Undergraduate Communication Association. She is an outstanding leader and worked hard to initiate changes to improve the quality of the organization as a whole. Jordan not only implemented the first UCA newsletter, but she also created valuable learning opportunities for members. She is a great role model for her peers and is a pleasure to work with in a team setting, bringing unique and innovative ideas to any project. Her strong drive, effective communication skills, charismatic nature, and ability to adapt are truly admirable. Jordan would no doubt be an invaluable asset to any organization or group and I look forward to seeing the amazing things she will accomplish in her career.”

“Jordan is an incredibly efficient and effective leader. Jordan took UCA to the next level and set the ground work for the association to be successful even beyond her years at MSU. Jordan left a legacy not only in UCA but as an upperclassmen at MSU. She is a mentor and a positive example of a wellrounded, rockstar student/leader to countless underclassmen in our association. I have no doubts that Jordan will excel in anything she sets her mind to.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Jordan as an executive board member of the Undergraduate Communication Association at Michigan State. As president, she took the Undergraduate Communication Association in a new direction and turned it into an organization that thrived from September to May. Her hard work, dedication and organization of UCA made it an organization everyone could be proud to be a member of. Not only was she recognized by her fellow executive board members and students for her hard work, but the communication faculty and staff members made it clear that because of her outstanding leadership this was an organization they were glad to support and recommend to their students. Jordan is kind, thoughtful, creative, hard working and a delight to work with. I know she will succeed at whatever she chooses to pursue.”
