Undergraduate Student
Riley has always loved other creatures, be it hippopotamuses, turkeys, or dragonflies. Reading all the nonfiction books about animal life and biodiversity as an elementary student landed him as a biology major in college. He especially enjoys working in the field and getting to travel to new locations collecting. He was also involved in conducting research on possible speciation in populations of the New Zealand damselfly Xanthocnemis zealandica, and evolutionary history of Odonata of the South Pacific.
