3 Words to Describe You: Dependable, Determined, Conscientious
Why do you want to be part of Survivor? Having regularly watched Survivor since 2000, I constantly find myself answering how I would react and perform compared to other contestants. As we are not getting any younger, I finally wanted to know the experience for myself. It is a phenomenon that I can't readily shake, so instead of potentially living with the regret of not trying, I am here to experience it for myself.
What's one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game? Completing a 5 year surgical residency. The hours are long, the work can be the difference between life and death for my patient, and it requires you to dig deep and prepare yourself to help someone else.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? I'd like to think Earl Cole. Quiet confidence. The social game of Cirie.
What will you value in an alliance partner? Transparency, reliability, and adaptability.
Favorite Hobbies: Running, singing, watching movies with the family, jigsaw puzzles.
Pet Peeves: Tardiness
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Successfully completing my educational journey through medical school, residency, and fellowship.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I can get lost for hours doing mundane tasks and the hobbies I enjoy, which likely explains the ability to perform long surgeries or complete jigsaw puzzles.
Who is your biggest inspiration and why? My grandmother. Through her I learned compassion and developed a keen interest in medicine.
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? My whole life has prepared me well to walk into this game and be successful. Now that the opportunity has been given to me, I am ready to execute and walk into this victory.[3]

^1 In "Committing to the Bit", Mary successfully played her Shot in the Dark, negating Cedrek's vote against her. Because Mary negated all the votes cast at Tribal Council, a vote restart was held between all the non-immune players. The restart ended with a 1-1 tie between Justin and Saiounia, forcing a revote. Nobody changed their vote on the revote, forcing a consensus tiebreaker. Cedrek changed his vote to Justin on the tiebreaker.
