In a video profile for the honor, Jones discussed her career path, which began with programming and included leadership roles at Shell Oil, Tenneco, Schlumberger, Dell, and Baker Hughes. She also recounted her early ambition to become a lawyer, her involvement in campus organizations such as Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and Orange Keys, and a brain tumor diagnosis at age 21 that she said shaped her perspective.

She noted that she previously hosted Distinguished Alumni events as a student and never imagined receiving the honor herself. Jones serves on boards for the South Texas College of Law Houston, March of Dimes, Girl Scouts, Child Advocates, and the State Bar of Texas, and has received the William H.
