Three words to describe you: Adventurous, enthusiastic, supportive
Why do you want to be part of Survivor?: It's been my dream to be on Survivor since I was five years old. When I was younger, I loved watching Survivor and seeing how happy people were when they won a challenge, and as I grew older and began to understand how grueling and tough Survivor is, the more I fell in love with the show. Watching Survivors who were down on their luck still fight, persevere, and even thrive taught me the power of resilience. And now I'm ready to put my damn resilience to the test and play the most epic game there is.
What's one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game?: The day after my final Survivor interview, I flew to Chile to backpack the Patagonia W trek. It was fantastic endurance training.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? I resonate with Tori from season 42 and Emily from season 45. I love their honest takes and thought their insights were spot on. I'd love to play like Dee. Her strategy drove the game. She was smart, perceptive, and kept her best moves secret from most other players, until the final Tribal Council.
What will you value in an alliance partner? I want an alliance partner who thinks they can beat me in the final Tribal and who I also think I can beat, alliances with the dynamic are the ones that actually last and dominate the game.
Favorite hobbies: Trying new foods while traveling, biking along Lakeshore Drive in Chicago, hosting game show-themed competitions — some favorites include Chopped cooking contests, Hot Ones spicy nugget challenges, and Amazing Race themed-scavenger hunts.
Pet peeves: Incompetency. Loud chewers. People who ask you to complete something by a deadline and then send a follow-up before the deadline.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I grew up playing a ton of water sports, including water polo, swimming, kite boarding, surfing, and scuba diving.
Who is your biggest inspiration and why? I have three biggest inspirations. My dad is the master of making people feel special, and he'll show me that one of the most meaningful things you can do in life is help someone feel heard. My brother is the best human being I know, and he constantly inspired me to be a better person. (And it's a good thing he's not in Fiji; that's not the energy I'm trying to channel.) My mom is my hero, she goes above and beyond for the people she cares about, and their lives are so much greater because she's in it. She inspires me to go all out for the things in life that matter.
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? The complete answer to this question is taking me too long to write, so I'll just say this – I've been preparing for this experience for a long time. I have the grit, determination, and expertise needed to win.^[2]
