With Claudia now on-board on a permanent basis (as the second permanent African-American model), the producers continued the model search to fill the other spot.Р”Р„t the start of the 30th Season Premiere episode of The Price is Right, (airdate: September 24, 2001, originally scheduled for the 17th) Jordan and Heather Kozar, who first auditioned back in March and signed on permanently in May, were announced as the newest, permanent Barker's Beauties (officially replacing Kathleen & Janice). Just a few short weeks later come February 2001, Claudia was already signed to a permanent basis as she was basically the only African-American tryout model (after other potential candidates Rosie Tenison and Enya Flack failed to impress) whom the showРІР‚в„ўs producers were impressed by, with her grace, style and enthusiasm in her modeling as well as being a favorite among Price is Right fans. She made her tryout debut on the 21st (along with a blonde model named Katherine, who also made her tryout debut) and made a strong first impression on the showРІР‚в„ўs producers and immediately became a favorite among the fans. With high hopes, and confidence Claudia decided to audition.

The gorgeous, dark-haired beauty learned that the television game show The Price is Right began a nationwide model search to find two new BarkerРІР‚в„ўs Beauties, permanently replacing longtime veteran models Kathleen Bradley & Janice Pennington, both of whom were dismissed unacceptably from the series as their unannounced final appearances aired on the 13th of December. In 2000, after her long-running stints in the pageant background as well as modeling and acting, Claudia was ready to take on a new challenge. Claudia & Brandi both made it to the Top Ten but lost the Miss USA title to Miss Hawaii Brook Lee (Brandi was the first runner-up).

She first competed in and won the title of Miss Teen Rhode Island, followed by competing in the 1990 Miss Teen USA pageant but lost. In 1990, in addition to modeling, Jordan began competing in local beauty pageants. A short time later, she was one of eight young up-and-coming models selected to compete for the cover of an upcoming issue of Seventeen magazine. Jordan also continued with her athletic skills, a star athlete and a sprinter and even earned all-American honors in the 400 meter relay race.Р”Р„side from her college credentials and impressive athletic skills, Claudia also developed a passion for modeling with high hopes of becoming successful up-and-coming model and began auditioning for modeling gigs. Claudia participated in three Junior Olympics and finished third in the long jump at the East Coast Invitational.Р”Р„fter she graduated from high school, Claudia moved to Berea, Ohio, there she attended Baldwin Wallace College where she majored in broadcasting and journalism and while there, she hosted her own campus radio program in addition to working at the Providence American Newspaper and at the Boston television station WHDH-TV.
