About Jordan
I love to write. This passion led me first to study English, then to a career in law. In both fields, I saw firsthand how good writing—a strong thesis, a compelling story, a logical flow—could not only earn you good grades, but also get you scholarships, land you jobs, and win you cases. Working hard to hone those skills took led me to the top echelons of my field. I've clerked for a future Supreme Court Justice, worked for a United States Senator, and drafted all kinds of briefs for litigation before the Supreme Court, for instance. Now I want to share my expertise with you as you apply to your dream schools and jobs. I know what it takes to succeed in a career in professional service—it's a world I navigated for years. So I can help you develop your own capabilities so you can write your own story in life. If that interests you, let's connect. I'm looking forward to working with you on your goals.
Why do I coach?
I think mentorship may be the single most valuable external resource for anyone who is trying to accomplish anything. So much of my life has been shaped by my incredible mentors. I have personally gone from searching vainly for the path forward to unlocking incredible success—more than once—just because the right person took me under their wing. Coaching gives me an opportunity to pay this forward.
