3 Words to Describe You: Optimistic, Bubbly, Honest

Claim to Fame: My claim to fame would be being able to become such a successful person despite coming from a poor Vietnamese immigrant family. Through my parents' hard work, I'm able to be where I am now, and I'm so grateful!

Hobbies: Watching reality TV and comedies, yoga, hiking, water aerobics classes, crossword puzzles

Pet Peeves: People who assume that people who get plastic surgery are all very rich and conceited. Sometimes plastic surgery isn't just for people who want a facelift, even though there's no shame in that. Plastic surgery isn't just for the filthy rich or the vain, it can help people too who have been through terrible accidents and other unfortunate events. I also can't stand pessimists. Lighten up!

Inspiration in Life: My parents have always inspired me, of course. They are everything to me. But another large inspiration in my life has always been Betty White. I love her sassiness, her charisma, and her willingness to be candid. She's inspired me to not hide who I am and I just love watching her TV shows and other things.

Why Are You a Beauty?: I think I am a Beauty because I do my best to bring out the beauty in others around me! I always try to stay perky and positive to inspire happiness and laughter in other people. I just want to spread the energy and light I've found in my own life. I also bring out the beauty in others through plastic surgery. Everyone's beautiful on the inside, sometimes you just need some adjustments on the outside to help you confidently express it, and there's nothing wrong with that!

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: This show has been a favorite of mine since the beginning, but I want to come out here because Asian woman don't usually fare very well, and I want to prove that we're fighters and we can do it! But besides that, I also love the show so I would love a chance to just come on and play my heart out, and sprinkle my zest for life on screens across America.

Why Do You Think You'll "Survive" SURVIVOR?: I may be much more of an inside woman, and not one that is a huge fan of camping or the outdoors. I accept that's going to be hard for me, but I'm not going to give up! My parents grew up in terrible conditions in Vietnam, so I think I can handle a month in an exotic locale fighting for a million dollars.

Why Will You Be the SOLE SURVIVOR?: I think I'll be able to become the Sole Survivor because I have an infectious personality. My happiness just rubs off on others, and I'll be able to buoy my pre-merge tribes to success by keeping morale high. That, plus knowing the game and being pretty in shape for an older lady, will help me get to the merge, where I'll make sure that I know what's going on and use all the information I can gather to get myself to the end!
