Bio
Jordyn is the communications manager for the ACLU of Nevada, where she began her tenure as the digital communications associate in early 2022. She was born and raised in Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, and moved to San Diego in 2016, and eventually to Las Vegas in 2019.
Jordyn received her Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications and Media Studies from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University. While she originally planned to pursue journalism, she quickly found herself drawn to the broader landscape of communication structures, tools, and platforms. That curiosity grew into a deep passion for understanding the mass influence that communication and media have over society and how they can be utilized within intersectional and diverse communities to drive social change.
Jordyn currently serves as a board member for the Nevada Chapter of the National Organization for Women (Nevada NOW). She also previously served on the board for the League of Women Voters of Nevada, where she helped relaunch the organization after it was reinstated by the League of Women Voters of the United States.
As a Native Hawaiian and Filipino community member with a melting pot of diverse ethnicities, Jordyn is proud to come from a place rooted in rich culture and history, with a family tree that sprouts from all around the world. Along with civil liberties and human rights, she is passionate about mental health, environmental justice, and animal rights. She has a 6-year-old chihuahua mix named Lily and looks forward to providing more dogs with a loving and caring home in the future. Jordyn is also a huge true crime nerd and loves spending much of her free time watching documentaries and listening to podcasts.
