3 Words to Describe You: Friendly, fearless, formless
Why do you want to be part of Survivor?: I want to be a part of Survivor because I grew up watching it. I was one of those kids that was raised in front of the TV screen. Survivor inspired me to dream big and be open to learning about others. Now it’s my turn to go on, kick butt, and inspire my siblings.
What’s one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game?: The best life experience that has prepared me most for the game is moving to LA with only $4,000 and my cousin in 2021. That leap of faith showed me I am more capable than I give myself credit for.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? I feel like I identify with Sean Rector (season 4). I love how true to himself he was. He was a man of faith and often felt out of water, but it didn’t stop him from caring for people.
Who do you think you will play most like? I think I’ll play most like Jesse Lopez. He was social, cunning, and strategically playing hard for his family.
What will you value in an alliance partner? Predictability and creativity. I want someone I can trust to have my back and have fun while doing it.
Favorite hobbies: Watching horror movies, playing video games, and eating tacos
Pet Peeves: Crunchy peanut butter… if you eat that around me, we can’t be friends, People who talk loudly in a movie theater.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? You would never know by looking at me that my hometown is right next to a power plant… Simpsons vibes.
Who is your biggest inspiration and why? My grandma… I know this might sound cheesy but it’s the truth. My mom had me at sixteen, so my grandma stepped in and became a positive foundation in my life. I was inspired by the way she stayed calm in the midst of trials. She passed away about a year ago. I’m hoping to make her proud.
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I will be the Sole Survivor because I’m the perfect blend of booksmart and street smart. I’m a student of the game, and most importantly I’m not afraid to take risks to pursue my dreams.
