Where do you see yourself in ten years?
In ten years, I see myself in graduate school, most likely working on a masters or a Ph.D. in classical studies.

What is your favorite part of Jeopardy!?
My favorite thing about Jeopardy! is its fast pace. Since you have only five seconds to answer the question, it moves along much faster.

How did your parents help you prepare for the show?
My parents bought me all kinds of books and other materials to study on a wide variety of subjects to help me learn things I wasn't so good in.

What will you do with your winnings?
If I win money in the Te--in the tournament, it will probably go either into my college fund, or to buy me a car. I haven't quite decided yet.

What are some of your favorite activities?
Some of my other favorite activities are writing, and doing knitting and crocheting projects.
