Tell us a little bit about YOU!

JORDYN CURET: I enjoy playing the ukulele and singing. I am a big fan of playing tennis. I am also starting to learn how to play the piano!

Your show, Home Economics, just got picked up for Season 2! What do you love most about playing Shamiah, and if you could choose, what type of storyline would you like to see her take on?

JORDYN: Shamiah has always been a social advocate and not afraid to stand up for what’s right. I think Shamiah should join a club in school to show her being passionate about fighting for social injustice.

You recently had the opportunity to sing the National Anthem at a Padres game! Tell us a little bit about that experience!

JORDYN: I had so much fun singing for the Padres, it was amazing! At first, I was a bit nervous, but once I got on stage and felt the energy, I was ready!

We hear you’re working on new music! What can you tease for your fans?

JORDYN: The message behind my upcoming song is truly about being hopeful, as well as being a bright light in a dark room.

How do you shine bright?

JORDYN: At the age of 4, I started a non-profit charity. We have toys, books, and fold drives for people in need. I encourage everyone who is reading this to give back to their community! It can be simple. For example, you can tell someone they look amazing today! It can make someone smile for sure! You can make bags with essentials (such as soap, food, etc.) and hand them out to people in need! Those are only a few of the many things.

I have also had the opportunity to support several incredible organizations that have made an impact in the lives of my personal family and friends. Ronald McDonald House, CHOC, Challenged Athletes Foundation, Shriners Hospital, and KITS.

The women who inspire me are…

JORDYN: Zendaya, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Michelle Obama. All empowering women.

I am most passionate about…

JORDYN: Acting is what I am most passionate about, bringing characters to life and expressing the role.

My biggest dream is…
