Chelsea Hill: French and International Studies Double Major and Jeopardy! Star

Chelsea Hill

On January 4, 2019 OSU graduate Chelsea Hill appeared on Jeopardy! where she did very well, placing second after the four-day champ! Chelsea double-majored in French and International Studies (relations & diplomacy concentration) with a minor in Arabic. Following graduation, Chelsea did TAPIF for a year in Boulogne-Billancourt, Hauts-de-Seine where she worked in two collèges - Collège Jean Renoir and Collège Paul Landowski. Later, she moved to Dallas, Texas to work with a refugee resettlement agency through the Americorps VISTA program before coming to New York. Since June she’s worked in a State Senate office in Queens, mostly doing administrative and scheduling work for a long-serving Democratic Senator named Toby Ann Stavisky. Of her Jeopardy! experience, Chelsea writes: “I was so nervous for that daily double since it was on the $2000 spot and we hadn't done any other clues in the category yet so I was VERY happy to have known it! I can certainly say my French knowledge helped - since they said the answer coming from the Latin for ‘free’ and knowing free = libre in French really solidified it for me, even more so than the Casanova reference.”
