Jordan strives to stay “forever curious” as he continues to expand his cultural competence.
Approach: An integral part of Jordan’s approach is focusing on the individuals lived life experiences, and how these have shaped who they are today. Each individual has their own strengths and weakness, and it is important to be aware of both.

Jordan aim’s to not only help those with their immediate needs, but to also equip them with lifelong skills for continued personal growth.
