Jordan’s mother Edythe is the Manager at Shop A Lott #4 in Natchitoches. Jordan is also a Lott Oil employee working at Shop A Lott #2 in Robeline.
A first generation college student, Jordan said he felt led to become a nurse because of a desire to help people. Having witnessed first-hand how difficult it can be for patients and their family to hear about a difficult diagnosis, he would like to be able help in his capacity as a nurse.

We are thankful to Northwestern State University for the opportunity to be able to support these young adults and their endeavor to achieve higher education,” said Luther ‘Buddy’ Lott, Jr., President and CEO.
