Biography
Dr. Jones is a nurse scientist who conducts type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease prevention-focused community-based participatory research in partnership with the Chickasaw Nation. Specifically, she works with American Indian women who are diagnosed with gestational diabetes to identify and implement intervention approaches to reduce cardiometabolic risk factors and diabetes development in the postpartum period and subsequent years.
Dr. Jones collaborates in team science with OUHSC and HHDC researchers to intervene at multiple points in the life course to promote optimal cardiometabolic health of mothers and offspring.
