Martha Jones

Martha Jones is a recent graduate of George Mason University in Fairfax, VA.  After serving honorably in the United States Air Force, Martha decided to pursue her bachelor’s in health administration, with a concentration in health informatics, because of her desire to make a difference on the healthcare system we depend on. In her last semester of her bachelor’s program, Martha had the opportunity to intern with the Department of Veteran Affairs’ Office of Health Informatics, where she learned the importance of leadership, management, research, and communication in the field of informatics.
