About Me
Hello everyone. My name is Christina. Sorry if my user page is boring; I'm not as interesting as some of my peers. I was born on February 19, 1994 and grew up in Armonk, New York. New York is nice, but Duke is much better. I discovered Duke in middle school and since then I have fallen in love with the school and the basketball team (I would consider myself a die hard fan). In case anyone wanted to know any random facts about me, I have a cat named Freddy who is one of my best friends (but I'm not a crazy cat lady). My dog is older than my brother. My brother often thinks he is too cool to talk to me. My mom is from Greece but I don't speak the language or enjoy Greek food. My dad is from Italy and is the best cook in the family (sorry mom). I play volleyball, basketball, and tennis; I also played the flute in high school along with the piano. I love carbs, especially mashed potatoes and pizza. I don't think I have a New York accent. I think that basically covers it. Sorry if that wasn't exciting.
Name Pronunciation
I think it's pretty easy to pronounce Christina Sardo but here is the pronunciation just in case:"Kris-TEEN-uh Sar-DOUGH".
Education
I attended Byram Hills High School. I am now a freshman planning to study biomedical engineering.

Matlab Demo
My favorite matlab demo was Earth's topography. It was interesting to learn about the different plots such as contour, 2D image, and 3D within this category. The demo also allowed me to view the code in editor to see how these types of plots were created. This section showed the power of matlab because not only can matlab perform mathematical operations, but it can also produce a graphic of the globe! While much of the code in this section is unfamiliar, it is still exciting to see the different ways that matlab can be used.
