About Me
I am a prospective Mechanical Engineer at Duke University. Currently I am a freshmen in the class of 2017. I am from Gaithersburg, Maryland and I have a dog named Samurai.
Name Pronunciation
Andrew is a relatively straight forward name to pronounce. My last name is pronounced "Gay-el", exactly the same as the first name "Gail."
