Jordyn McKey

Jordyn McKey, Miss North Carolina USA 2023, is a resident of Charlotte, NC. She has a deep admiration for self development and helping others find their divine purpose in life through her campaign of #soulapproval. 
 
Jordyn was pinned as an outstanding Marketing graduate from Southeastern Louisiana University in 2020. She currently works for the global leading women’s health company, Hologic. She is 1 of 6 surgical specialists in the country for an innovative surgical procedure that helps women combat uterine fibroids. She has a passion for empowering women in healthcare and the corporate world. 
 
During her year she wants to help be a driving force for unparalleled support with mental health in schools and form a curriculum that is set in place for students throughout their entire education. Jordyn hopes to be an example of #beboth which advocates for others to not confine themselves to one label in life. She plans to set this standard by being a woman in pageantry, corporate America, and healthcare.

What an unforgettable evening judging the 2024 Dancing with the Stars of Charlotte Gala. This event was such a blast. Each dancer had their own philanthropic focus and raised money for their cause. This was truly one of the coolest things to be asked to do and I’m honored I was asked to be apart of the evening🌙⭐️💫💃🏻🕺
