Jason completed his undergraduate (BSc. in Biology) and graduate studies (MSc. in Anatomy and Cell Biology) at McGill University; his Master’s thesis focused on cell signaling in insect immune responses. Afterwards, he remained in the laboratory to explore new fields of biological research; namely, signaling pathways in single cell injuries and identifying apoptosis-protective genes. Later, he moved to South Korea to teach academic and scientific writing to undergraduate students at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and Grade 10-12 earth science, biology, and anatomy at Global Prodigy Academy. In 2017, he returned to Montreal and began working in the Biology Department at John Abbott College where he enjoys teaching anatomy and physiology. During his time at the college, he has participated in several projects involved in creating digital pedagogical materials and implementing new technologies in the classroom, the latter including the use of virtual reality equipment and developing educational video games.

His leisurely pursuits are fairly nerdy; he enjoys playing board games and video games and reading science fiction and is usually pretty up-to-date on popular television shows. He enjoys weight-lifting, jiu-jitsu, cycling, and snowboarding, while his more creative hobbies include cooking, fermenting (beer and kimchi), and woodworking.
