She graduated from the American University of Paris with a Bachelor of Science in International Economics in 1999. Wanting  more global experience, Jordan moved to Istanbul, Turkey.

She was employed by FinansInvest, a  Turkish brokerage firm, for which she conducted quantitative analysis on the Istanbul Stock Exchange and financial reviews of listed companies.
