Her additional scholarship in this area includes the following: an accepted paper on the dissertation topic; a publication and conference presentation in Turkey on early-onset dementia in athletes and the role of social work profession in addressing this problem; posters and oral presentations on athletes’ mental health attitudes; a pilot study on the development of an instrument to measure hypermasculinity, specific to athletes (which will be submitted as a paper); and a host of other scholarly writings on this topic.
During her matriculation in the Ph.D. program, she served as an instructor for three research-related courses, including data analysis, research methods, and practice evaluation. As well, she worked as a teaching assistant for seven data analysis courses. One of her main duties in this capacity was conducting weekly, optional lab sessions to supplement course lessons. In addition to her academic obligations, she has also served as a statistician on a Master’s thesis.
In her future endeavors, she intends to continue researching mental health outcomes and well-being of high collision athletes (and related populations), teaching research-related courses, specifically, data analysis and statistics, and conducting statistical consultation for dissertations and theses.
Jones’ motto for her classes is “Mastery, Excellence, and Competence!” She is the recipient of two Ph.D. exemplar awards – one from the Howard University School of Social Work and the other from the Howard University Graduate School.
