Toby Gollan-Myers

Del Mar,California

Summary

Recent neuroscience graduate from UC Santa Barbara working part-time in research in SF. I worked as a server in the evenings during college and loved it: the people, good food, fast pace, and good vibes! Looking for a similar job up here in the city for the next two years before I apply to grad school.
