Let Me Introduce Myself (:
About Me — Jordan
Hi there and welcome! (:
My name is Jordan, I am 28 years old, I am a fiancee, and a mother to 2 girls.
I’m so delighted to properly introduce myself in depth. An “About Me” page is so much more than a biography — it’s taking the chance to share MY STORY, MY VALUES, and the passions that drive me. I am hopeful that by the time you finish reading this story, you’ll have a better understanding of who I am, what I care about, and what you can expect from me, both personally and professionally.
Who Am I?
I was born in Toledo, Ohio, and raised in a small town called Lambertville, Michigan. My upbringing has taught me many valuable lessons, including the importance of kindness, hard work, and perseverance. These values have stayed with me, guiding me through every stage of life, from my early education to my current endeavors.
Growing up, I was always curious about the world around me. I often asked myself questions related to exploring new ideas and loved learning new things — whether through books, hands-on experiences, or even simple conversations with certain individuals who came across my life time to time. This innate curiosity is still a defining part of who I am today.
My Academic and Professional Journey
My academic journey began at the University of Toledo, where I was undecided about which career path to pursue that would be the perfect fit for me. Throughout my life, I have consistently shown interest in various things, which has made it challenging for me to choose the perfect career.
After being at The University of Toledo for a year I decided that this school wasn't a good fit for me and I wanted to make a switch. I moved to Mercy College of Ohio to study Polysomnography (the study of sleep medicine). I was drawn to this field because it combined my love of the brain with my desire to make a positive impact on peoples overall lives. While in school, I immersed myself in various projects, internships, and extracurricular activities that allowed me to apply what I was learning and develop new skills.
After Graduating College,
I embarked a crazy journey with my professional career in Polysomnography. I began applying all over the country, I wanted to start over and make a change with my life. I accepted a job starting as a Clinical Sleep Assistant at Apnix Sleep Diagnostics which is located in Houston Texas
(Yes I moved across the country by myself at 22 years old, alone not knowing a single person).
This role taught me invaluable lessons about collaboration, resilience, and the importance of continuous growth. Since then, I have had the privilege of working with some incredible individuals and collaborating with sleep doctors on projects that challenged and inspired me. Each experience has added a new layer to my overall understanding of my profession and myself.
A few years later leading up to now
I am currently a stay at home mom where I focus on raising my 2 daughters. My first born is 4 years old and my second daughter is 9 months old. My husbands work fortunately pays him enough which allows me to stay home and teach creativity and lessons to my daughters. I am blessed and fortunate with having the opportunity to stay home and raise my girls the way I want to instead of a daycare, family member, and or a nanny doing so. I take pride in my role as a stay at home mom to adapt, learn quickly, and contribute meaningfully life balance to my family.
My Personal Passions and Hobbies
While being a stay at home mom is important, I also believe in fulfilling a life with balance. Outside of being a mom, I have a range of interests that keep me energized and inspired. I am an avid reader, writer, show binger, and practice yoga every now and then. I plan and dedicate some time each week to incorporate my hobbies into my day to day tasks. These hobbies bring me joy, help me unwind, and often spark some new ideas that I can bring into my professional life.
My Approach to Life
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that life is a wild journey filled with many ups and downs with lessons learned. I try my best to approach every challenge with optimism and an open mind. I’m a firm believer in lifelong learning, and I seek out new opportunities to grow — both personally and professionally
(when I decide to go back to work).
My friends and colleagues often describe me as dependable, empathetic, and driven, and I try to live up to those qualities in everything I do.
My Core Values
Integrity, respect, and authenticity are at the heart of who I am.
I am a huge believer in meaningful relationships that are built on honety, trust and open communication, and I strive to implement these qualities in all aspects of my life. I’m also passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion. I believe that everyone has a unique story to tell, as we do not know what everyone has been through with life and I am committed to creating healthy environments where all voices are heard and valued.
What Looking Ahead Looks Like For Me
As I look into the future, I am excited about all the possibilities that lie ahead. I have set ambitious goals for myself, both professionally and personally, and I am committed to working hard to achieve them all. Whether it’s me learning a new skill, or exploring a new part of the world, I embrace each new adventure with enthusiasm and gratitude.
Why This Page Matters
I created this “About Me” page as part of a way to connect with other individuals out there — you could be a potential colleague, collaborator, client, or simply someone curious about my journey. I believe taking the time with sharing our stories helps us find common ground and build stronger connections.
If you’d like to get in touch, collaborate, or just say hello, I welcome the opportunity to connect! (:
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I look forward to the chance to learn about you, too!
