She also worked with the acclaimed WGBH Channel 2, public television’s most prolific production house, as an on air talent, news segment producer, researcher, and writer.

After leaving the Kennedy School, she consulted for Harvard’s Radcliffe College, organizing women’s conferences throughout the country.

Jordan co-owns and operates Skyline Ventures Productions with her partner, cinematographer/mountaineer Jeff Rhoads in Salt Lake City, where she spends as much of her free time as possible exploring the backcountry of the Wasatch Mountains, as well as competing in triathlons and ultra-distance trail runs.
