Vim & Vigor - Summer 2018 - Gwinnett Medical Center - 5

MEET BARBARA JONES, DO
IN HER OWN WORDS

1

My first job was as a
kickboxing instructor at
the campus gym at Loyola
Marymount University in
Los Angeles.

2

I realized I wanted
to be a doctor
when I was in college.
Freshman year, majoring
in biology, I got a 4.0 grade
point average. I realized
that becoming a doctor
was a dream that I was
capable of turning into a
reality because I have the
intelligence to do so, selfaffirmed by my grades.
No one in my family was
a physician, and I had no
guidance in the medical
field, so I was walking this
path by myself. That 4.0
GPA really boosted my selfconfidence and I've been
after this dream ever since.

If I weren't a
doctor, I would
be a motivational public
speaker traveling the world
encouraging and inspiring
the masses.

4

To unwind after
a long day, I go to
the gym to do strength
training or Zumba or I go
to Dairy Queen to get a
couple vanilla cones dipped
in chocolate to enjoy with
a girlfriend.

5

Right now on my
iPod, I'm listening
to Alina Baraz, Ryan Leslie,
Charlie Puth, Jhene Aiko,
Miguel, Madonna, Joe
and Wham!

8

My favorite television
show is "Shark Tank"
because I enjoy watching
"Mr. Wonderful," Kevin
O'Leary, with his funny,
ruthless shenanigans.

My inspiration is my
grandmother, Barbara,
who passed away in 1998,
and my parents, who have
invested so much time,
effort and love into my life.
They have always had my
back and allowed me to
make my own decisions.

My favorite
restaurant is
Chipotle! I read that they
get their veggies and meats
from humanely sourced
farms. Plus, most places
that sell salad don't fill
you up and you end up
eating a chocolate chip
cookie anyway and messing
up your diet. Chipotle
salads fill me up, and I
even have leftovers for
later sometimes!

Right now I am
reading "Millionaire
Success Habits" by Dean
Graziosi, feeding my mind
and soul. Also "The Girl
Who Wrote in Silk" by Kelli
Estes. What a tearjerker-
get a whole bucket of
tissues for this one!

Some things
people may not
know about me are 1)
I am left-handed, so my
handwriting is extra terrible.
2) As a child, I was in the
Junior Olympics for the
400 meter race and long
jump. At 10 years old, I
jumped 11 feet, 6 inches.
3) I played basketball in
college on a full athletic
scholarship. 4) I model
on the side, so do not be
surprised if you catch me on
the catwalk or in a magazine
you're flipping through.

"If I weren't a
doctor, I would
be a motivational
public speaker
traveling the
world encouraging
and inspiring the
masses."
