Hey Y'all!

I'm Jordan Beaman and I'm a magazines major with an emphasis on photojournalism.

I was born in Milwaukee, WI but I was raised in the suburbs of Dallas, TX.

I have an amazing family that is slowly following me to Georgia. I have two older siblings who I look up to in every way. My dad is the foundation of our family and he takes care of me more than I could every imagine. I had the most amazing momma. Unfortunately, she passed away two years ago. She was in a para-sailing accident when I was a freshman and it has turned my world upside down. But I am proudly the spitting image of her.




I also have two dogs that are my babies and I absolutely adore them. I wish that I could keep them here in Athens but they would go insane in my apartment.

I work at the Office of Special Events on north campus. Basically, we plan all the events for the president of the University. Its a great job and it has made me more interested in event planning. I am also the secretary of Alpha Omega, the on campus organization for my campus ministry.

My greatest love in life is photography. I am absolutely obsessed and my friends make fun of me all the time for how many albums on facebook I have. They have all actually stopped taking their cameras anywhere. I also have a blog to display my photography, which you can check out if you feel so inclined.

Some other things I'm interested in are baking, football and movies. Here's why. If this whole journalism thing doesn't work out for me, I will most likely open up a bakery with my sister. Growing up in Texas, every one was obsessed with football, high school, college or pro. I can't remember a fall weekend that we didn't watch football. College football is my favorite to watch and I have been cheering on the Dawgs since I was born. Most of the conversations that we have in my family are consumed with movie quotes.

I had an amazing opportunity this summer to study abroad in Italy for ten weeks with the Lamar Dodd program in Cortona. I was able to take two photography classes. Here's my blog from my summer where you can read about my whole experience.

Arrivederci!
