An Atlanta librarian who appeared on “Jeopardy!” Wednesday was unable to beat a Colorado music teacher on a five-day winning streak.
Jordan Moore, a Cincinnati native, works at the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library. She lost to Kyle Jones, but snagged 2nd place from Jonathan Lau, an actuarial consultant from New Jersey.
Moore and her wife live in Stone Mountain, close to where Moore volunteers with the refugee service organization, New American Pathways. She also teaches English as a Second Language with the Latino support group, La Amistad.
Moore said being on the popular quiz competition was a bucket list event, adding that she couldn’t believe it was happening until she was holding the buzzer.
Moore joins the ranks of metro Atlanta contestants, such as a Georgia Tech student who retweeted his haters, the chairman of the DeKalb County GOP and an archivist at the Breman Museum.
