Profile
Name: Regional Manager (39)

Personal Claim to Fame: Working my way through the company to become regional manager of a large chain business, despite all the sexism and harassment I faced from peers.

Hobbies: Cooking, wine tasting, sudoku.

Pet Peeves: Superiors who call me darling. I am a woman.

3 Words to Describe You: Communicative, Intelligent, Resourceful

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I've been letting my vacation days roll-over just to achieve my dream of competing on the show. It's such a fascinating game, and I'm eager to see how far my skill-sets and determination can get me.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I'm very experienced in leading people, problem-solving, and dealing with morons. While it's almost a death-sentence to come out as a leader on Survivor, I'm very good at building rapport and keeping people calm. I'm going to hold an alliance together until the end, and work with an alpha-male who's gonna fall on the sword for it.
