What do you like most about Jeopardy!?
My favorite thing about Jeopardy! is probably the intensity of the competition and the fact that anyone has a category that they have the ability to answer--that a lot of the questions on there are--there's such a variety of things that everyone can answer them. So it's something for everyone.

What advice did your friends and family give you?
Um, they told me to be quick when buzzing in, and just to have confidence and to be relaxed when I was on the show.

Would you like to send a message to anyone at home?
I just wanted to say to anyone who's watching at home, thank you for being so nice and so supportive. And just thank you for being behind me though the whole thing, and I really appreciate it.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Um, in ten years I would like to see myself working for possibly the UN, or the foreign service, having gone through college and gone through all that, that would probably be the ultimate thing that I would want to do.
