Hello!

I am Professor Jones. I am the Director of Biology here at Carolina University. I completed my B.S. at Western Carolina University (2018) and will be defending my Ph.D. work soon from East Carolina University. 

I love all things biology and history. Science can be overwhelming at times. My job is to make science fun and digestible for all. I am here to serve and mentor the next generation of scientists.

Please feel free to email/call if you need anything. Take advantage of my office hours and drop in (in-person or virtually) if you need any assistance.  

Here's to an amazing semester!
