Official CBS Survivor 47 bio excerpts, (September 4, 2024), as preserved by Mike Bloom at Parade.com:

"Three words to describe you: Energetic, friendly, organized

Why do you want to be part of Survivor? I began watching the show when I was a pre-teen, and even back then I had this unearned sense of confidence, like, “I could do that!” I got older, but never lost that belief. So I’m here to test it out and challenge myself. (And prove myself, right?)

What’s one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game? My extended family was always really close. I grew up sitting around a big table, conversing with kids and adults of all ages and personalities. Being able to appreciate and connect with people of all backgrounds and ages and ideas will come easier to me because of my upbringing.

Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? Let’s go with a combo of Eliza, Chrissy, and Lindsay. I identify with strategic women who are direct. I think saying “Lindsay” to people in the game will not raise any red flags. I plan to say I admire her because of her success in challenges (but will omit any reference to her amazing social game).

What will you value in an alliance partner? Predictability for obvious reasons; and a strong social game that is attractive to other players outside the group. Ideally, my partner would deliver me intel that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to get.

Favorite hobbies: Am I too old to say video games here? Aside from that, I like anything social — time with family or friends. I also love trying to cook any recipe I see on Instagram that involves a cheese pull.

Pet peeves: Airports. Or the combo of airports and people. People who line up at the gate way too early, as if the plane will leave without them if they don’t storm the boarding gate. People who hog the arm rest or take off their shoes then put their feet up. Yuck!

What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Honestly, probably getting on Survivor because of my path to get here. I first applied the very night that Canadians could — so that’s what, five or six years ago? I’ve applied every year since and got progressively closer each time, but last year I got rejected when my hopes were up. It hurt. But I kept trying. It’s the longest I’ve failed at something repeatedly but kept trying and here I am!

What is something we would never know from looking at you? I wear my heart on my sleeve and my thoughts on my face, plus I talk a lot. So if you met me, you know me pretty well pretty quick.

...

Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I connect easily with others, so they won’t hate living with me, and I’m very objective-focused out here. Nothing — no bond, deal, fear, relationship — will stop me from doing what I think needs to be done to further my game. Killer instinct vibes in Fiji for me!"
