Joye+Kallgren



My name is Joye Kallgren. I am a senior studying French and Chemistry at Alma College. I have run [|Cross Country] here for 4 years as well as being actively involved in New Life, Chapel, Chem Club, and FCEE. I spent 5 amazing months last spring studying in [|Nantes], France where I lived with a host family and took classes at the Universite de Nantes. While I was studying abroad I was able to take trips to Italy and Ireland which were fantastic and also visit places all over France! Then, this summer I spent 10 weeks at [|Georgetown University] researching antimalarial drugs. I absolutely love to travel and am hoping one day to use my chemistry to fight against infectious diseases in developing countries, specifically in francophone Africa. This year, I am working on my senior thesis in chemistry creating new possible drugs for the Avian Flu and also getting to test them on the virus itself. In my spare time I love to read, watch [|The Office], listen to music ([|Switchfoot] and Jon Foreman), and play acoustic guitar.
