 is a contestant from Survivor: Free Agents.

Profile
Jody was born and raised in San Francisco, California. Growing up Jody’s parents always pushed her to succeed in school and that pushing helped Jody a lot as she graduated from high school two years early. Jody then went on to earn her B.A. and Masters in English at Texas A&M. It was a Texas A&M that Jody met her husband Henry.

Jody became a novelist upon graduating from college and two of her books, North Tide and The Way of the Cat, have made it onto the New York Times bestseller list. When Jody is not writing she is home schooling her two sons Tommy and Brett. A self-professed “Tiger Mom”, Jody believes in pushing her children to be better versions of themselves.

Jody currently lives in Austin, Texas with her husband Henry and her two sons Tommy and Brett.

Jody’s reason for being on Survivor is:

"tribename"

- I want to show America that a smart, strategic, older woman can win Survivor. I will not be used as cannon fodder.
