Dr. Stassi is an adventurer and educator. An introverted, small town country Georgia girl with a heart for her family and friends, Nastassia N. Jones, Ph.D. has been blessed to have some very close friends who are closer to her than family as she has spent most of her adult like away from home. In her professional life as a STEM educator, she focuses on teaching and research endeavors that are fueled by a desire to see an increase in the numbers of minorities and women in STEM fields. This passion for STEM spills over into her personal life as she explores the science behind improving her health through fitness and nutrition. In her free time, Dr. Stassi enjoys cooking and baking, exploring new Peloton classes on and off her non-Peloton bike, riding her road bike, lifting weights, and learning how to crochet. Pre-covid at the top of her list was traveling to new places to learn about different cultures and taste new food, but these days she is patiently waiting for the world to reopen to continue those adventures. Through her blogging she hopes to have you join her as she journeys through life’s major transitions, embarks upon research with K-12 teachers, and continues to improve her health through fitness and nutrition.
