In my time volunteering at Adams Camp, I have received the opportunity to be able to know Jordan Ficke. Jordan Ficke is a brunette, young woman who has devoted most of her life to helping other people. While she has spent over a decade of her life helping people with developmental disabilities, she has also worked at schools and a rehabilitation center.
