Profile
Name: Raina McPherson (18)

Tribe Designation: Zagreb

Current Residence: Concord, NH

Occupation: Animal Shelter Staff

Personal Claim To Fame: I have brought home countless stray animals to take care of them, it’s definitely over 100 now! Seeing them fully nourished and their happy faces makes me feel happy.

Inspiration in Life: My moms, Charla and Lindi! They’re amazing parents, and they’ve always tolerated my obsession with animals ever since I was 5!

Hobbies: The obvious answer is playing with my pets, but besides that, I love dancing to pop music too.

Pet Peeves: Animal cruelty, of course! But besides that, I just can’t deal with people who judge me based on my age. Sometimes I just feel like Phineas from Phineas and Ferb, always getting asked ‘Aren’t you a little young to do this, do that, blah blah blah.’ It really grinds my gears!

3 Words to Describe You: Insightful, Compassionate, Fun

If you could bring one thing on the island with you, what would they be and why?: A huge jacket to keep me warm!

Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: I think that I'm really similar to Julia Solokowski from Kaoh Rong in lots of way! We’re both young girls, with a drive to succeed in the game.

Reason for being on Survivor: I’m here to prove that I’m capable to succeed despite my young age. Being 18 doesn’t mean that I’m immature, or I’m incapable of succeeding in this game.

Why you will be the Sole Survivor: I’m a people person at heart, and I think that my ability to relate to people from all walks of life will propel me to the win!
