Jones then completed a master's degree at VSU under the guidance of Professor Glenn Harris[1] while taking a systems biology approach to study Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus in mice[4] in a project titled "Association between Genetic Variants and Inherited Multi-factorial Diseases".

[3] Her research investigated the cellular consequences of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) +142C>T, which introduces an upstream open reading frame (uORF) within the GCH1 gene and also represses GCH1 translation, which is involved in dopamine biosynthesis.

Jones performed experiments like in utero electroporation, microscopy and immunofluorescence to understand how the two sides of the brain communicate in order to find treatments for children with seizures, cognitive defects, and autism.

[10] Jones has been selected as an IF/THEN Ambassador by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the largest general scientific society in the world, which is a role that serves to inspire young girls and women to pursue a future in STEM.

[14] Most recently, through selection as an AAAS IF/THEN ambassador, Jones mentors middle school students to inspire young women to pursue STEM careers, and has also received training in communication and storytelling to help improve her advocacy efforts.

In January 2020, Jones appeared on the CBS TV show "Mission Unstoppable" hosted by Miranda Cosgrove, which showcases trailblazers in STEM fields and is co-produced by Litton Entertainment and the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media.
