Victoria Fisk, graduate of Daniel Hand High School, class of '98, will appear on Wheel of Fortune (WTNH Channel 8) at 7:30PM on January 8, 2013. She currently is a teacher at the Weiss School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and resides in Jupiter, FL. She is the daughter of Pamela and Richard Fisk of Palm Beach Gardens, FL and Madison, CT.

We asked Victoria about her experience. This is what she told us:

"Last spring, the Wheelmobile came to Palm Beach Gardens and my fiancé Bill Ashcraft and I decided to audition.

There were thousands of people there and they randomly selected people to get up on stage and play.  They were looking for upbeat, positive people, who interviewed well and who new how to play the game.

 My name was called (Bill's wasn't) and I got up on stage, gave an interview and played well.  I was nervous but had fun with it. The next step was an audition consisting of about 200 people.  At the end of the day there were only about 25 people left.  We had to take a written test of word puzzles, play the game and interview again.  They told us that if we made it we would get a letter in the mail 4 weeks later.

A month later I was very excited to get a letter in the mail that I had made it and to expect a phone call.

I flew out and taped the show in August."

So how did she do?

You'll have to watch to see, but Victoria adds, "I had a ball and was happy to take home some money. I am happy to have had the experience!"
