Hi! I'm Rachel and it's Jeopardy! Holiday Kids Week. Happy Holidays!

How long have you been watching Jeopardy!?
I've been watching Jeopardy! really faithfully since I was about 9 or 10.

What is your favorite Jeopardy! category and why?
My favorite Jeopardy! category is RHYME TIME, because I think the answers are really clever and cute and funny.

How did you find out that you were selected to be on Jeopardy!?
I found out I was going to be a contestant on Jeopardy! when I got a call, phone call, at my house, but we didn't answer, so they called my dad at work, and he called us, and my mom called Jeopardy!, and that's how I found out.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
When I grow up, I would probably want to be an actress, especially one that appears on television.
