While at WKU Gray became the first female drum major in Kentucky. Gray's research on the Greek Mathematician Archimedes led her to discover a piece of mathematics that had not been previously published or talked about for about 2,000 years. Gray went on to work as a professor of mathematics at Cal State University.
