Pamela Perry JordanI, Pamela Perry Jordan, was born and raised in Jackson Mississippi. I am blessed to have been raised by both biological parents, the fifth of eight children. I say blessed because today it is not so common. I am the proud parent of two adult children who were raised in a single parent home. Danielle and Rhashad remain the joy of my life, however I was recently honored with the gift of a grandson, Asiah, my other treasured possession. Early in life, I realized that I had been anointed to counsel. I began to follow my calling while a junior in high school, when a neighbor asked me to counsel her troubled son. At that time, her son was a student in my biology class. After graduating high school, I earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in Mental Health from Tougaloo College in Jackson, Mississippi. I obtained a master's degree in Community Counseling from Mississippi College in Clinton, Mississippi. Additionally, I obtained a certification in Behavior Disorders and then a specialist degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tennessee. My professional experiences in both public and private sectors include working as a vocational counselor, clinical administrator (state hospital), teacher for students challenged with behavior disorders, and a child/adolescent therapist (emergency shelter). Currently, I am employed with Clayton County Public Schools as a Behavior Intervention Specialist. I have always had a heart for God. Growing up in the church, I served as Sunday School teacher and sang with the adult choir. As a member of New Macedonia Baptist Church, I continue to serve in the capacity of Youth Sunday School teacher, choir member and volunteer for Vacation Bible School. Because of my love for God's creation, much of my leisure time is spent going for long walks, traveling, and tending and nurturing my yard, however, most rewarding is time spent fellowshipping with family and friends.
