Jessica Jordan ‘08
Colorado Health Institute
Yearlong Fellow

Why did you want to become a PIFP Fellow?

Working in the nonprofit sector seemed like a great opportunity to get hands-on and in-depth experience that many recent graduates can’t seem to get at most jobs. I am also interested in working in public health as a career and nonprofits seemed like a great place to start.

Please give a brief description of your job/role in your host organization:

My job title is Research Fellow. I help prepare data and counsel for various demand-driven projects (e.g., Colorado Health Report Card; Safety Net; Alzheimer’s Council).

I enjoy analyzing different health indicators, the policies that address them, and how this affects Colorado.

What’s the most interesting thing you’ve learned about your host organization so far?

CHI strives to make itself accessible to larger organizations, donors, and the individual citizen alike.
