Meet Dr. Hannah Jordan: The Vet Who’s Saving Animals, Crafting Earrings, and Channeling Her Inner Steve Irwin
Ever wondered what happens when a veterinarian with a heart of gold and an artistic soul joins forces? Meet Dr. Hannah Jordan, your go-to general practice vet for small animals and exotics, and your next favorite person (who happens to have a knack for crafting and a deep love for conservation). You might think caring for animals and making earrings don’t go together, but for Dr. Jordan, they are two sides of the same creative coin.
Dr. Jordan’s love for animals was ignited by none other than the Crocodile Hunter himself, Steve Irwin. As a kid, she watched him fearlessly handle all kinds of critters, from crocodiles to snakes, and thought, “That’s the kind of energy I want to bring to the world.” He showed her the perfect mix of passion, empathy, and education—values she now applies every single day as a vet. "He inspired me to advocate for every animal, big or small," says Dr. Jordan, who’s now using her own unique flair to bring those same values into her practice.
As a North Carolina State University graduate (both for her bachelor’s and veterinary degrees, because why do things the easy way?), Dr. Jordan combines her serious medical skills with a good dose of creativity. Sure, she spends her days diagnosing and treating animals, but once she clocks out, she’s a crafting aficionado. Whether she’s painting, drawing, or making earrings, Dr. Jordan knows how to unwind and let her artistic side shine. You could say she’s not just a vet, she’s a creator of both life-saving medical plans and gorgeous accessories!
When asked about the qualities that shaped her career, Dr. Jordan highlights three big ones: hard work, creativity, and empathy. “I put in long hours, but I also love finding creative solutions to tough cases. And empathy? That’s what keeps me connected to the animals and their families,” she says. It's this combo of brains and heart that helps her treat her patients like family, making sure their care is as personal as it is professional.
And when it comes to the human side of things, Dr. Jordan is all about resilience and humor. She believes that no matter how tough things get, the ability to laugh and persevere is what gets us through. In a profession where serious moments happen daily, having a mindset of humor is her secret weapon for staying positive. So, whether she’s diagnosing a sick hamster or cracking a joke with a client, she’s spreading joy wherever she goes.
One of Dr. Jordan’s life-changing adventures? Well, it wasn’t a safari or a jungle trek—it was the wild world of social media. As a vet navigating the pandemic era, she started her veterinary account to foster education and connection. What she didn’t expect? A whirlwind of new friendships, professional connections, and an even bigger platform to share her passion for animals. Who knew that a few well-timed posts could lead to such profound transformations in her career?
But, let’s get real for a second: if Dr. Jordan weren’t a vet, what would she be? “Honestly, I have no clue!” she laughs. “But I’d probably be a comedian or an artist. I love tapping into my creative side and bringing joy to others.” Whether it’s saving animals or cracking jokes, Dr. Jordan is all about making the world a better place with a smile.
So, if you’re ever in North Carolina and need a vet who’s as passionate about animals as she is about creativity, Dr. Jordan is your gal. And if you’re lucky, you might just catch her rocking some handmade earrings while saving the day—because why not make animal care and crafting part of your superhero routine?
