She then worked as a music critic and sports reporter for several newspapers including the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the Houston Post, and the Star-Ledger in Jersey City, NJ. In 1997, Claudia was a four day winner on Jeopardy! and appeared in the Tournament of Champions, the Masters Tournament, and the Battle of the Decades. In 1999 she was Grammy Nominated with Bill Ivey and others for the liner notes for "From Where I Stand - The Black Experience in Country Music."
