3 Words to Describe You: Passionate, Daring, Curious
Why do you want to be part of Survivor? I believe my background will give me an advantage in the games in many ways. I've gained confidence through my accomplishments, and I seek the adventure, experience and validation I'd do well. I love challenges and to me, this show seems as if it could challenge me in ways I have not yet been.
What's one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game? Many of my experiences have prepared me for this game, but none more than so than the diverse group of people I have lived and worked with across multiple countries and continents. It has allowed me to embrace such a diverse world, filled with extraordinary people across all walks of life.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? I am compared to Jonathan Young a lot, and there are obvious similarities, but truthfully I cannot think of a player that I would be like. Though admittedly I have not seen every season of Survivor.
What will you value in an alliance partner? Kindness. This is a ruthless game at times. Feelings be hurt. Tears shed and at some period, betrayal will hit. But honoring knowing someone is genuine in their kindness, makes trusting them easier, and forgiving them possible.
Favorite Hobbies: Flying, Riding Jet Skis, diving, gaming, and playing board games.
Pet Peeves: A lack of consideration for those around you, someone being rude or ill-mannered
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? I have been going to the gym for a long time and despite injuries I have been very consistent with my health and ideals. I am proud of my health, the hard work I've put into it and will continue to.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? My favorite movie of all time is Notting Hill.
Who is your biggest inspiration and why? My parents. While no childhood is perfect, I think they did a damn good job raising me and my sisters. I look forward to being a parent one day and I will definitely have learned a lot from them.
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? Self awareness. I know who I am, what I am capable of and more importantly, how others will perceive me. I will have to face all of these and will use them to my advantage.^[2]
