Jordan studied biology at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, earning a Bachelor of Science in 1997 and a Master of Science in 2001. Jordan subsequently completed a Doctor of Philosophy in biology at Wake Forest University in 2006. The doctoral training at Wake Forest was followed by research on the behavior, development, and chemical ecology of the salt marsh moth, Estigmene acrea.
Jordan began an academic teaching career as a visiting professor at Willamette University, where Jordan worked from 2006 to 2008. Jordan later taught biology at Guilford Technical Community College. Jordan's academic work has combined college-level biology instruction with research on insect development and behavior. Research conducted during and after the Wake Forest period investigated how dietary pyrrolizidine alkaloids influence the development of male androconial organs, courtship behavior, and pheromone-related biology in the salt marsh moth. Jordan has also served as an assistant professor of biology at Bennett College and has participated in microbiology and phage-discovery instruction.
