Makayla Reed is a contestant from Survivor: The Massim.

Profile
Name (Age): Makayla Reed (28)

Tribe Designation:

Current Residence: Sacramento, California

Occupation: Book Store Owner

Claim to Fame: Helping organize and sponsoring my city's LGBTQ+ pride parade for the past two years.

Inspiration in Life: Nurses, doctors, and hospital workers in general. I've had family members that were saved by top-notch medical care. Going out in such a high-risk, occasionally gruesome field is extremely honorable and it's what I'd be doing if I wasn't pursuing other passions.

Hobbies: Guitar playing, book reading, coffee drinking, motorcycle driving, article writing, and...urban exploration. That one doesn't fit as well, does it?

Pet Peeves: Pretty much every wasp or mosquito.

Three Words to Describe You: Intuitive, vigilant, faithful.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: My aunt Lorrie used to say "if you want to do something, do it or don't." It doesn't make a lot of sense to most people, but it does to me. Survivor is something I want to do, so I'm going to do it. The "don't" part comes from your limits - which I don't have a lot of.

Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I love listening to people and understanding their problems. That will help me build bonds and forge tight alliances with people. If I want to be friends with someone, they're friends for life. I'm very forgiving but I'm also not always inclusive. Finding those people who will stay loyal to you and themselves is key.
