3 Words to Describe You: Competitive, high-energy, goofy
Why do you want to be part of Survivor?: Because it's epic!! It's the perfect blend of athleticism, sociology, and mental strength. Plus, I'm always looking for a new challenge for myself and new adventures. And of course, the chance at $1 million doesn't hurt.
What's one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game?: Working in sales because I've had to learn what's the right thing to say & who's the right person to say it to to achieve the outcome I want. I definitely plan on using that skill in the game.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? I identify with Tiff the most and loved watching her play.
Who do you think you will play most like? I hope to play like Dee. She played a great physical and social game with her alliances. But honestly, I can really only go out there and play my own game.
What will you value in an alliance partner? An open mind to hear different perspectives and not someone who is “my way or the highway.”
Favorite hobbies: I have way too many, but to name a few: working out, pickleball, hiking, gaming, roller-skating, or just going outside to soak in the sun and touch grass.
Pet Peeves: Not feeling heard or being talked over/interrupted. Also, bullies/rude people. Bullies are wack!!
What is something we would never know from looking at you? Season 47 was the first season I ever watched of Survivor. I quickly became obsessed, binge-watched half the seasons, and now here I am.
Who is your biggest inspiration and why? My big sister! She's the most intelligent person I know, and amazing mother, and an extremely hard worker. Everything she's done in life, she's nailed. And I've always aspired to be more like her.
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I've got the social charm to be everyone's best friend and outwit. I've got the athleticism to crush physical challenges and outplay. I've got the mental endurance to outlast!![2]
