Why do you want to be part of Survivor? I want to push myself as much as I can — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Survivor is my favorite show and I want to be part of it!
What's one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game? Being a sleepaway summer camp counselor: living with sometimes difficult personalities, intense competition, and the feeling of family away from home.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? I identify with Aubry Bracco, and hope I'll play just like her and Kelley Wentworth.
What will you value in an alliance partner? Someone I can tell is being authentic with me and able to have fun so it's not nonstop intense!

What is something we would never know from looking at you? That I'm a therapist and founded and run a group private practice.
Who in your life is your biggest inspiration and why? My friend Rishi, who is on a Broadway national tour of Jagged Little Pill and is incredibly brave and wholehearted. Also, Brené Brown.
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I can read the room (or the island), pick up cues, lay low when I need to, but be cutthroat when the time comes. And I can do it while being as real as possible, and bring comedic relief!
