About Me
I am a first-year student in Duke's Pratt School of Engineering. I plan to study Environmental Engineering and earn the certificate in Global Development Engineering. When I'm not wasting food points in West Union or crying my eyes out in Perkins, I enjoy singing as part of Hoof 'n' Horn, the Duke Chapel Choir, and Lady Blue. My mom says that I should add a non-singing extracurricular activity to "pad my resume," but I think I have enough on my plate for the time being.
Name Pronunciation
My name is pronounced exactly how it appears: "GRACE JEFF-ree." My first name is a standard word, so I'm not going to waste time explaining it. My last name is two simple syllables.

MATLAB Demonstrations
My favorite MATLAB demonstration is The Game of Life. Though watching this demo did not teach me much about how to use MATLAB, it showed me that MATLAB is capable of much more than just solving equations. I really liked the animation as the cells moved around the window because the blue color made it very relaxing. It was a nice way to take a break and just breathe, something I never thought would happen during EGR103 homework.
