Clarissa Kater is a contestant from Survivor: Nauru.

Profile
Name (Age): Clarissa Kater (19)

Tribe Designation: Meneng

Current Residence: Rockford, IL

Occupation: Biology Student

Claim to Fame: I got to visit the country of Congo before I graduated in high school and I was part of a great team that worked on saving endangered species of the local fauna. It was a once in a lifetime experience that made me who I am today and I’ve learned so much from it. Actually, I hope I will get to do stuff like that again, so here’s to hoping that trip was not a once in a lifetime experience.

Inspiration in Life: I take inspiration from Rachel Carson, her book is one of the main reasons the modern environmental thinking actually exists nowadays, and it’s always cool learning more about a famous woman that history did not forget.

Hobbies: Playing with my dog, Simba, meeting new places, swimming, playing the guitar.

Pet Peeves: That’s easy for me, I hate people who are squeamish and not willing to get their hands dirty. I think that life...you only live once! You should experience it all the ways possible, you know, be in close contact with all this nature that surrounds us, it’s amazing to behold. I like to get my hands dirty, touch, learn, eat, see...it’s the best way of living.

3 Words to Describe You: Adventurous, Smart, Tough

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: I don’t really watch the show to give you a proper answer to this question, but if there has even been a tough woman that got her hands dirty and did all the job on camp...well that’s going to be me. I know I’m not the most sociable person on the planet, but I’m for sure a player that is willing to get the job done.

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: I really liked the idea of the show once I heard about it, and I feel like it’s going to be one of those incredible growing experiences that only a few people get to have. Also, it will be good to upgrade my social skills, and the money could be very useful on the real world.

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: Have I said I’m tough? Jokes aside, I do believe I’m ready for a show like this, I’ve been in isolated places before, I have camped, I even experienced a few days of hunger when I was in Congo. I was built for something like this, I will not only survive it, I will actually love it..

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: I think that my down to earth personality and how I will contribute to camp life will be the keys for me winning the game. I can get tactical too, as I may not be very clever or wise, but I do have some street-smarts in me and I’m willing to use it. And as I said, I’m more than eager to get my hands dirty on this game!
