"I've been studying
everything I can about the show, about the game, and about different
aspects of the game that can help you build good strategies, alliances
and win the game ultimately. So I think, you know, very well-rounded
and um, and very focused. I run and have run marketing and PR departments
for companies. And marketing and PR is all about selling your products,
yourself and your company, to other people. Convincing them why they
should buy your products, why they should believe you. Two really positive
aspects that I'll bring to the game are the ability to, you know,
help around the camp, build shelter, provide food, and catch
fish, do whatever. Those are things that I love to do, so hopefully
I’ll be seen as someone who helps out." |
