 is a contestant from Survivor: Terra Nova.

Profile
Jocelyn had a tough life growing up. Both of her parents were drug addicts who were in and out of rehab for a good portion of Jocelyn’s childhood. Therefore, she was raised mostly by her grandmother Sarah from an early age.

When Jocelyn was sixteen she got pregnant and she had her first daughter Paige nine months later. She had to drop out of High School in order to take care of her daughter. Jocelyn eventually managed to get her G.E.D. and was able to go to community college and eventually Arizona State where she earned a degree in Social Work.

Jocelyn cites her patience as something that she thinks will benefit on while playing Survivor.

Jocelyn lives in Tempe, Arizona with her husband of three years Frank. They have three children Paige, Aubrey, and Carlos.

Jocelyn’s reason for wanting to be on Survivor is:

"mi'kmaq"

- I want to do this for my kids, I want to show them that they have a kickass mom who will do anything she can to improve their lives.
