Current Residence: Merrimack, NH

Occupation: Physiotherapy student

Hobbies: I enjoy all kinds of sports, especially hockey and swimming! I also love cooking, reading fantasy novels, and cuddling with my boyfriend, Ulrich, while watching TV, especially Survivor!

Pet Peeves: I guess homophobes would be the obvious one. I consider myself pretty easy-going, and I don't get triggered by the littlest thing, but like, blatant homophobia does anger me, I can't lie. The other thing that does set me off though is people smoking. I try my best not to make a scene around a smoker, because I understand that they're addicted and need help. But like, every time I'm around someone smoking, I feel like I need to hold my breath because the smoke not only stinks, but it literally makes me sick.

Three words to describe you: Easy-going, caring, intelligent.

Who or what is your inspiration in life? My mom Velma for sure! It's been almost five years ago now since I came out as gay, and she's been fully accepting and supportive of me since day one, even though I can't say the same for certain other family members. I don't know where I'd be right now without her love and support.

If you could have three things on the island, what would they be? This sounds really stupid and childish, but I'd love it if I could bring the stuffed gorilla my boyfriend won for me on our first date at some carnival. It would just be such a great reminder of him, and something that would help calm me down if things got super stressful. I'd also love to take with me a toothbrush and toothpaste, as well as my iPod.

What's your reason for being on Survivor? Even though I do consider myself a very social and extroverted person, I still feel like I need to come out of my shell a little. I still have anxiety issues, especially in big group settings, and I feel like coming out here can help me get over that hump, as it were. Oh yeah, and there's also the fact I'd love a million dollars. Yeah, that's kinda a good reason for coming out here too. (Chuckles)

Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor? I'm a very social person, but I'm also not one to kinda take charge and boss people around or anything, and I'd like to think that I'm likable. (Giggles) I'm also a huge fan of Survivor! I've been watching the show ever since season 2, and I haven't missed an episode in forever! So like, I know how a lot of different strategies work, and I hope I'm smart enough to be able to read people and figure out who I can and can't trust.

Manga: May I use him?

Yes :)
