| GSCCC Alum Grace Jeffrey |
Grace was a GSCCC Girl Scout from first grade as a Brownie until she graduated high school in 2017, and is now a Lifetime Member! She was in Girl Scout Troop 952 for the entirety of her Girl Scout career, and earned all three highest awards, her Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards along the way.
Grace recounts two of her fondest Girl Scout memories: the times spent with the Colonial Coast Cavers, as well as traveling to the 2014 Girl Scout National Convention in Salt Lake City as a representative of GSCCC.
Last month, Grace graduated from Duke University with double majors in Global Health and Environmental Science & Policy. She recently started her first full-time job as an Analyst for Ketchum, a global marketing and communications consultancy. Grace is currently working from home, but looks forward to moving to Los Angeles next month.
Grace said, “Girl Scouts encouraged me to be curious, to invest in my passions, and to advocate for what's right.” She continued, “Girl Scouts really showed me the value of follow-through, being thorough, and building community. The Girl Scout community is incredibly diverse and full of very accomplished women, but we differentiate ourselves from others by fostering an environment of support rather than competition. This is so important for everyone to remember.”
How did Grace end up on Jeopardy?
Grace told us she has long had an interest in trivia and as a child, was an avid reader and loved to absorb all the facts about the world around her. In middle school, Grace competed on her school's trivia competition team and even had the confidence to apply for teen Jeopardy! She didn't make it on the show back then, but she persevered!
Over the past few years, she joined her dad on a pub trivia team, which reinvigorated her love for the game. She decided to take the online test in hopes of getting on the Jeopardy! College Tournament before graduation, but ultimately got cast on the traditional show!
