Hello! My name is Karla and I am a third-year neuroscience major with a minor in human biology. I am from northern Sweden and it was there that I discovered my interest in research. I am on the cheer team here at Eastern and when I am not in school or at practice I enjoy going to the gym, reading, and spending time with my friends.
