My name is Jason Riley. I have been teaching for seventeen years in Virginia and enjoy working with students in middle school, high school, and college. I attended Virginia Union University as an undergraduate student with a major in Biology and Virginia State University for my master’s degree in Biology. My love of science started with my high school Biology class. I worked with kids in a group home during my time as a graduate student and decided to share my passion for science with students. The HERO-T has given me an opportunity to participate in a research setting since my days as a graduate student. I look forward in sharing my research experiences with my students and peers.
