Jordan, Zoe Saldana, Modern Family, A League of Their Own, Zippy’s Chili Spaghetti, Common Kings, SZA, and Amazon.com … chose CSUN because of the coaching staff and school, she saw how much the coaching staff is dedicated to their players and how much they care for them on and off the field, CSUN also has amazing facilities and committed staff.

Jordan and Chadwick Boseman … the best advice she has been given is get out of your own way … her advice to young people is push yourself and put the work in … says her greatest hero is her father because he has been through thick and thin with her; he has shaped her into the person she is today, he is always there for me, and she is forever thankful to have him in her life.
