Julia Sokolowski is a contestant from Survivor: Kaôh Rōng.
The youngest woman at the time she competed, Julia proved to be a strategic player who successfully forged working relationships with members of both warring post-merge factions. However, this strategy eventually incurred the distrust of Aubry Bracco and others. As Julia leaned further toward aligning with Scot Pollard and Kyle Jason, she found herself in the minority after Tai Trang shifted his allegiance to Aubry and away from Scot and Jason. Completely exposed, she was voted out in 7th place.

Name (Age): Julia Sokolowski (19)
Tribe Designation: Beauty
Current Residence: Boston, Mass.
Occupation: College Student
Personal Claim to Fame: My trip to Tanzania. I taught English to a class of 83 third graders and rebuilt and restored classrooms. I also hiked the base of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Inspiration in Life: My 17-year-old brother, Eric. He was born with a heart defect called hypo-plastic left heart syndrome and has undergone a series of 4 open heart surgeries. He is a fighter and my inspiration every day.
Hobbies: Skiing, hip hop & contemporary dancing and flirting.
Pet Peeves: Really slow walkers and entitled people.
3 Words to Describe You: Outgoing, driven and versatile.
If You Could Have 3 Things on the Island What Would They Be and Why? A photo of my family because they're my rock! A camera because I love taking pictures to document memories and for Instagram! An iPod because a girl's gotta jam out!
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Natalie Tenerelli because she was a young, female player, Jenna Morasca and Parvati Shallow because of their ability to strategically combine sex appeal and intelligence, and Andrea Boehlke because she is a wholesome farm girl with big dreams.
Reason for Being on Survivor: I want to win the million dollars and also pay off my college tuition! I want to prove to everyone who ever doubted me that I am strong, strategic and intelligent, not just some Barbie princess, dumb blonde.
Why You Think You'll "Survive" Survivor: I would be a huge asset on camp. I have done Habitat for Humanity so I know how to build shelter. I have killed cows in Africa, worked on a farm, and know how to make fire. I'm also quick, excellent at puzzles, and have strong social skills from job experience and being a college student.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor: I have amazing social skills, because I'm majoring in PR, so I'm studying strategic ways to persuade and manipulate people. I have strong instincts and I am very athletic. I've always been competitive and I am a hard working, smart girl.[2]
