Hi I'm Jordan Kaefer and I live in Georgina which is about an hour north of York University. Also, I've lived there for my entire life which is interesting because it is very much of a small town community. I just finished my undergraduate degree in Bachelor of Arts Specialized Honours in History and I'm currently studying for my Concurrent Bachelor of Education degree in History and Geography in the Intermediate/Senior Division. My main hobby and passion is that of sports may it be watching or playing soccer, hockey, and/or football. I have a dog named Bella and she is a Shih-Poo (Shitzu Poodle mix) and she is absolutely adorable (let me tell you, she knows she's cute and as a result she is a diva). I am the youngest of two and my sister Saffara is 28 years old. Lastly, I'm not sure where my placement will be as I have not received it, but I am very excited and  eager to know where it is! I look forward to reading and meeting more of you!
