Jordyn is the Digital Communications Manager at the ACLU of Nevada and has been with the nonprofit organization since February 2022. She was born and raised in O’ahu, Hawaii, until moving 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. She initially declared Journalism as her major, but within her first year of schooling, she soon took an interest in all varieties of communication structures, tools, and mediums. Furthermore, she specifically became interested in the mass influences communication and media have over society and how they are, and can be utilized, within intersectional and diverse communities to create social change. Along with civil liberties and human rights, she is also extremely passionate about mental health, animal rights, and environmental justice.
As a Native Hawaiian and Filipino community member with a melting pot of other diverse ethnicities, Jordyn is proud to come from a place rooted in rich culture and history and represents a family tree with roots sprouting from all around the world. She has a 4-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.
