How does it feel to be a semifinalist in the Jeopardy! Teachers Tournament?
Uh, it was kind of surreal. It was very exciting. My whole family has been, uh, big Jeopardy! fans, and, um, my grandmother was definitely the first person I called when I--when I got the call to come in, and I think they're going to be so excited to see that on TV.

Do you have a strategy going into the semifinals?
I think just to stay doing the same thing. Um, go for the clues I think I'm going to be confident in, and, um, see what happens.

What was the best part of your experience on Jeopardy!?
It's just been just so awesome to just--to be here, and--and I've never been behind camera before, and so it--the whole--the whole thing is--is very new to me, um, and I think just being on the show that I've loved for so long has just been the best thing.
