Hailing from the swamplands of south Louisiana, Jordan now calls beautiful Lander, Wyoming, home. When she's not planning out NOLS' social media content, she's perusing her own phone and embracing life where there's actually snow (and a lot of it). You might find her dance hiking in Sinks Canyon, dance hiking at Johnny Behind the Rocks, dance hiking at The Bus, or just dance hiking in her own kitchen (it's a very short loop trail). She's also passionate about trying new things, which is what brought her to NOLS in the first place.
