Sienna Martin

 is a contestant from Survivor: Trinidad.

Profile
Name (Age): Sienna Martin (35)

Current Residence: Alexandria, VA

Occupation: Police Officer

Claim to Fame: Like that’s even a question. (rolls her eyes playfully) It’s definitely bein’ a cop. It means a lot to me to give back to the city and the community where I grew up, which is the beautiful city of Alexandria. (smiles) Especially with the bad rap that cops are getting nowadays, I feel it takes an extra amount of bravery to be an officer. Not only do I have to deal with violent criminals, but I’ve also got to deal with anger-fueled activists and protesters!

Inspiration in Life: I love my father like nobody else. He actually ended up being the police chief of Alexandria by the time I was born, and, in fact, he still is today. (laughs) My dad is what inspired me to become a police officer myself since his bravery and strength are unrivaled. He helped my mother fight cancer every single day until she ended up passing, and has successfully battled cancer twice himself. That man is as resilient as they come.

Hobbies: Going out for drinks with my friends on the police force, spending quality time with my dad, usually by hunting or fishing, and educating kids on the importance of the police and how they can stop crime. Yeah, that last part is part of my job, but it’s a part that I hold especially near and dear to me because of how important this new generation of kids will become.

Pet Peeves: I can’t stand complainers and people who aren’t willing to put in the work or do their share. I know there’s going to be plenty of Survivors this season who are straight out of Los Angeles without a nick of survival skills who are going to whine their way through the season, and I’m already dreading it! (frowns) I also don’t like when people take a few bad people in a group and use that to judge the entire group. That applies to the police, obviously, but also to blacks, gays, and so on.

3 Words to Describe You: Independent, resilient, & competitive

If you could bring 3 things on the island with you, what would you bring and why?: First, a picture or memento from my dad to help me remember to keep being strong when things get tough on the island. I’d also want a 36-pack of beer and some tortilla chips with salsa. It’d be really fun to have a few beers with my tribemates and get to know ‘em a little better early on into the game.

SURVIVOR Contestant you are most like: I see a lot of myself in Terri McMullen from Gilbert Islands. She might’ve gone out early, but that woman had serious grit! She stood up for herself and never gave up even when her back was against the wall. That’s how I plan on playing this game, only I’m going to go much further than she did.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I live for the excitement and happiness that comes with passing tests of strength and proving myself. Survivor might just be one of the most difficult tests of strength there is, since it involves the physical and mental aspects of strength. I hope that I perform well out here so I can prove to myself that I can conquer just about anything.

Why you will be the Sole Survivor: I could never live for myself if I didn’t do everything I possibly could to win the entire thing, so you can bet your ass I’ll be fighting no matter how terrible my position on the tribe might look. Along with that, I’m usually a pretty laidback gal, so I’m not going to scare people away from working with me unless something crazy happens. (laughs) I definitely think I’ll be here to stay.
