I grew up on Chicago's north west side in Streamwood. I went to high school at a boarding school called Hobe Sound Academy in Hobe Sound, FL. Later, I went to Ivy Tech College majoring in accounting with a minor in business management. There I met my husband Ronald D. Jones. At that time I was doing private investigations which I found to be an intriguing and exciting business. I started investigation work right out of high school when I was 17 and did that until I was 25. We had our first daughter in 2000, a millennium baby, and we named her Ariel Alicia. I moved to Colorado Springs in 2001. My husband, who is an automotive technician, and I decided to start an automotive repair facility called Auto Clinic of the Rockies which has been in business for about three years. We decided to expand our family once more and had another beautiful daughter. We named her Mckenzie Lynn. In the mean time, I did leave private investigations to pursue and further our business. I now work full-time with my husband who is my best friend. My biggest interest lies in my family. We do everything together such as hike, ski, rappel, but my favorite is cliff diving. Some of my other hobbies are reading, volleyball, and working out at the gym.
I am on the board of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. I was just inaugurated and my term starts officially in January. I will serve on the board for at least 3 years and look forward to serving the community.
I found out about Zonta on the Internet. There are so many great aspects of Zonta. I think it is great that we support local organizations as well as international organizations and we have the option of giving money as well as getting personally involved. I think Zonta is a great organization and am glad to be apart of it. I look forward to developing relationships with the women of this chapter.
