Jordan is a sophomore at Saint Andrew's School, where she has been attending since seventh grade. She grew up in Houston, Texas, and is still getting used to exchanging rodeos for sandcastles!

Additionally, she spends what little free time she possesses reading, writing, and playing her guitar, to the annoyance of her two pets.
