What inspired you to want to compete in the Teen Tournament?
What inspired me to compete in the Teen Tournament was always watching Jeopardy! when I was young. My dad and I would always watch Jeopardy! after I got home from school, and it's just always been something that I've wanted to do.

As a teen, what's your favorite thing about Jeopardy!?
My favorite thing about Jeopardy! is probably all the questions, and watching all the different tounaments, and seeing how many questions I could answer.

If Alex Trebek were a teacher at your school, what subject would he teach?
Um, if Alex Trebek were a teacher at my school, I think he'd teach probably every subject that he possibly could. He's--he's well-rounded and he knows his stuff.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Um, in ten years, I see myself either going back to college to st--to be a social studies professor, or continuing to teach high school.

Tune in to see who makes the grade and who gets schooled!
