Professional Bio

Jordan came to be the lead advocate and campaign planner for Lowcountry Local First in 2024 after spending 7 years in the full-service marketing agency world and 8 years as Director of Marketing for the organization. She deeply believes in the power of local-indie businesses to shape a place and drive community wealth and connectivity. She believes in an inclusive economy that works for all, and sees policy as a tool to ensure the economic landscape serves those rooted in this place.

Jordan has served on the boards of directors for Compass Collegiate Academy, Charleston Moves, and Charleston American Marketing Association. In 2024, she completed the Fred R. Sheheen Nonprofit Leadership Institute at Francis Marion University.

When not working, you can find Jordan dining at Odd Duck Cafe, Holy City Brewery, shopping at Roadside Blooms and The Station Park Circle, or trying to steal the lemurs from Bee City Zoo. You'll also find her enjoying time with her daughter, adventuring outdoors or listening to her husband perform spoken word.
