3 Words to Describe You: Bold, Friendly, Enthusiastic
Why do you want to be part of Survivor? Joining the Survivor family is a dream come true. I've been watching the show since Season 1 when I was 8 years old, and I am so incredibly grateful to be living out a life goal. I can't wait to meet new amazing humans, push my strength and positive mindset that I've always been proud of to new limits, and hopefully be a living example that being your authentic self is one of the bravest things you can do.
What's one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game? Starting my own company. My 10 year career in Public Relations has given me invaluable skills for this game (strategic mindset, relationship building mastery, succeeding under pressure), and starting my own business has brought those skills to unlocked hidden levels.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? Dee, Kenzie, Maryanne, Michele. They are badass, strong-willed, kind and played impeccable social games. I persuade for a living. I persuade multi-million dollar companies to work with me, I persuade people, I persuade journalists to write about my clients, and I'll persuade my heart out on the island for 26 days. By working for myself I need to believe in myself and rely on myself in order to get paid. Let's go get that mil!
What will you value in an alliance partner? Vibes. Someone who I genuinely connect with, can work with, can laugh with, can brainstorm with and can be cutthroat with. (Not someone I can trust because I won't trust anyone)
Favorite Hobbies: Talking about how much I love the state of NJ, spending time with friends and family, going to the Jersey shore, Italian cards, cooking delicious meals with my boyfriend, growing my herbs (I'm obsessed with them), board games, clamming and reading.
Pet Peeves: Indecisiveness, and mean people.
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Finally getting my parents to understand what I do for a living - just kidding, they still don't get it. Taking a big risk to leave my agency job after seven and a half years and betting on myself.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I went to roller coaster camp as a kid. Yup. You read that right. It's probably where my adrenaline junkie behavior and risk-taking nature began.
Who is your biggest inspiration and why? My Nonno John and my Nonna Nina are my heroes. They are the most selfless, kind and hardworking people I know. Everything they've done was for the better of other people, me, and our family: immigrating to America from Italy, each of them working multiple jobs at once to make ends meet all while remaining loving and happy. My grandfather would take the clothes off his back for a complete stranger. My grandmother was an entrepreneur ahead of her time and rose to a real estate maven. They have both taught me the power of believing in myself, serving others, and hard work. I am so grateful for them every day and would honestly love to see them on Survivor - they would kick ass!
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I've been practicing and honing my skills my entire life. My successful career in Public Relations has given me the tools I need to win people over, spin a story, I never take anything personally, and keep going. PR is not for the faint of heart and neither is Survivor. I'm ready to win.^[2]
