Quinn Neamand
Lead Volunteer
Quinn Neamand recently graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara where he studied biological sciences. While volunteering during his undergraduate career, Quinn became more aware of the social injustices many individuals around him face every day. He believes a sense of community and access to education provide a strong foundation for anyone to build a successful future. Working with Project Atom allows Quinn to put his beliefs into action. As Quinn pursues his goal of getting into medical school, he works as a medical scribe and clinical research coordinator for an orthopedic specialist group. When he is not in the clinic, he is most likely surfing, at the gym, listening to music, or spending time with friends and family.
