Name (Age): Yvette Isleifson (63)

Occupation: Actuary

Current Residence: Kalgoorlie-Boulder, WA

Bio: Yvette was born in Perth, WA as the 3rd of 4 children (1 older brother and sister, and a younger brother). Money was never an issue for Yvette or her family growing up as her father was a well known and respected attorney turned conservative politician. Yvette was very close with her father growing up, with him teaching her the importance of being independent and working for what you want in life. Yvette's mother and father pushed each of their children, especially Yvette and her sister, Ruth, to get an education and well-respected careers for themselves. When Yvette was 29, she met her husband, Reg, who is a cardiologist, and they got married a year later and moved to the town of Boulder (which amalgamated with Kalgoorlie in 1989 to become Kalgoorlie-Boulder). Yvette and Reg then had 3 sons: Reg Jr., Emmerich, and Paul (named after her husband, her father, and her husband's father, respectively). Today, Yvette works as an actuary, although now that her children are grown and she is approaching the age of retirement, she has been mulling over a potential career in politics and possibly running for the Liberal-National Coalition in a future election. Yvette and her husband are both big Survivor fans, and Yvette has always been eager to have new experiences, meet new people, and expand her knowledge, with each of these motivating Yvette to finally apply for one of her favourite shows.

With money being no issue for Yvette, she wants to focus on meeting new people, and having as much fun as she can during the course of the game. Yvette does not want to take any sort of leadership position, instead wanting to focus on the social game and building a tight alliance to move forward. Knowing that she could be an early target for her age and lack of challenge prowess however, Yvette's primary strategy is self-preservation, and she will not be afraid to adopt the "As long as it ain't me" mantra if she feels she may be in danger of going home.
