Jordan brings with her several years of experience working in domestic and international nonprofits. Most recently she was a Community Engagement Specialist and Financial Coach for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville, Virginia, working to bring affordable homeownership options to low-income, immigrant, and refugee families. She served as Board Chair of the Ixtatán Foundation, whose mission is to increase access to quality education for indigenous Mayan students in the Western Highlands of Guatemala.
