Her family moved to Los Angeles, when her father took a job at Stevie Wonder's radio station, KJLH, as an electronics engineer. Jones attended high school in Lynwood, California, where she also played basketball; her father suggested that she play the sport because she is six feet tall. Jones attended Chapman University on a basketball scholarship.

When her coach, Brian Berger, left Chapman in 1986 for the head-coaching job at Colorado State University, Jones followed.
