Survivor: Whatever
Age: 29

Hometown: Cleveland, OH

Current residence: Cleveland, OH

Pet peeves: People who make assumptions about me. When they see me with my dad they assume he's my boss or that he adopted me because he's white and my skin is significantly darker. No, honey, his sperm made me!

Three words to describe you: Brave, crafty, and optimistic.

What is your personal claim to fame? As a nanny I've dealt with a lot of challenging children but I think my toughest task of all was this kid named Gary. He would always misbehave in class, and since his parents were never around, there was no one to really discipline him. One year with me though and his parent-teacher conferences turned right around! His parents had no idea how I did it!

Who or what is your inspiration in life? My parents. My grandparents on my dad's side are not the most progressive people at all. They come from down South, and when they heard that my daddy was gonna be marrying a black woman, they were not too happy. I've only met them a few times! They didn't have too much support from their parents, but they've made it work. My mom calls them an American Romeo and Juliet.

If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why? A hot tub to ease my joints in, a bed to sleep in, and a journal to organize my thoughts in.

Which Survivor contestant are you the most like? I think I'm a lot like Victoria. She played a modern day version of Sandra's game, staying under the radar but making big moves when the timing was right. If she hadn't gotten screwed by the Edge twist she would've won and that's the truth.

What's your reason for being on Survivor? I wish I could say I had some noble purpose about showing my identity in a positive light or showing my parents what I can do, but I just wanna play the game I love and win a million dollars.

Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor? I'm gonna float under the radar and play a strong social game for the early phase of the game. I'm gonna get myself into a solid alliance, get a ride-or-die, and advance myself until I have to start making moves. I'll make friends on the jury, and as long as I can keep my threat level low, I think I'll waltz to the end.
