ARYANNA JONES

Born and raised in the heart of Cleveland, Ohio, I grew up surrounded by the bustling energy of urban life and the quiet charm of the Midwest. From a young age, I developed a curiosity about the world around me and finding my role in it. This curiosity began with a B.S. in biology from the University of Charleston (WV) and led me to pursue a Masters in chemistry at Delaware State University.

I am currently immersed in exploring the intricacies of molecular compounds and soft materials. My studies not only fuel my passion for scientific discovery but also align with my growing interest in environmental science. I am currently working on a hydrophilic medium that can remediate heavy metals and toxins from water. Some hobbies of mine include coaching Women’s lacrosse, shopping, and enjoying the outdoors. I am looking forward to where my studies will take me as a Delaware Space Grant Fellow this upcoming year.

After graduating from Shaker Heights High School in Cleveland, Ohio, Aryanna’s academic career continued at the University of Charleston (WV). Here, she participated as a Division II women’s lacrosse player while serving as president of the Chi Beta scientific society and volunteering at CAMC Hospital. Aryanna completed her Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2019. At this time, she is preparing to graduate with her Master’s degree in Chemistry from Delaware State University. An historically black college and university founded in Dover, Delaware. During her time at Delaware State, Aryanna has been an Agilent Technologies scholar, NASA Delaware Space Grant Fellow, Lab instructor, and Lab Manager in the Delaware State Water Quality Lab.
