H Getting Ready for Her Next Step by Meg Duncan ′14

ordan Heeter, a junior at QU, didn’t get into much trouble as a child, but when she did, there was one punishment that went straight to her heart. “When I did get in trouble, my parents grounded me from reading,” she said. “My nose was always in a book growing up. I would carry around five or six books at every family gathering because I didn’t know which book I wanted to read there.” Heeter grew up in Kenosha, Wisconsin, with her parents, two older brothers, and a younger sister. Heeter said that as a child, her future profession was an ever-changing condition that varied from a flight attendant to a doctor, and some days, to a princess. She pinpoints watching NCIS, Criminal Minds, and Law and Order SVU, with her grandma as an influencing factor on her decision to study forensic psychology and political science at Quincy University.
“When it got down to it, that’s kind of what gave me the drive to get into forensic psychology and political science.” —Jordan Heeter 2
