About
My name is Karlem (sounds just like the city of Harlem, NY except the H part) and I am interested in the field of medicine along with other areas related to either healthcare or science. I am an active learner who is always eager to learn new and interesting things. I'm also spontaneous in a way that if there is an opportunity that is presented to me I will do my best to try and enjoy it even it means to fail. I simply find areas in my life that I deem interesting and enthusiastic in hopes to become better not only as a professional but as a person overall.
