[B][B]Biography[/B][/B]
[B][B]Sierra Reed (23)[/B][/B]
[B][B]Hometown: Los Angeles, Calif.[/B][/B]
[B][B]Occupation: Model[/B][/B]
[B][B]Sierra Reed wants to make it clear right off the bat that she has the ability to find her place in any situation, anywhere in the world, through her perseverance and strength. Despite the fact that she is strong-willed and determined, she is one who will wear her heart on her sleeve. Not intimidated by age, ("I'm 25 and if you're 45 that's great, but if we have differences, I'm going to let you know"), Reed will speak her mind, yet she does it with purpose and passion. She hopes that her tenacity will balance out her "strong nature." [/B][/B]
[B][B]This fashion student and model is no stranger to roughing it. After moving to Taiwan by herself at a very young age, Sierra is used to living in places with no running water and filled with grime and bugs. Sierra is a self-proclaimed adventure junkie who "loves to experience new things all the time" and she believes that those experiences make her a prime candidate for SURVIVOR. [/B][/B]
[B][B]Sierra claims she isn't a "very stereotypical model," because she doesn't do it for the notoriety; she does it because modeling can help facilitate new experiences and allows for travel to amazing locations which is something she enjoys tremendously. [/B][/B]
[B][B]Her modeling background has helped to shape her strategy for the game. Forced to deal with a variety of personalities all competing for the same goal is nothing new to her, having lived with five catty models vying for one spot. This experience will be to her advantage when forming alliances and making her way through the twists of the game. [/B][/B]

[B][B]Sierra Reed, 23, model from Los Angeles- Not only did this beauty not have to try out to get on Survivor ("I was at a taco stand when the recruiters came up to me," she says), she doesn't need the prize. "Money comes and goes," says Reed, who turned down a Tommy Hilfiger campaign to do the show. "If I'd saved when I was just starting out, I'd be a multimillionaire by now[/B][/B]

[SIZE=2]Sierra Reed attended Carlsbad High, where she was on the basketball team. But her absences mounted as she pursued a modeling career, and she was advised to switch to an alternative school. She enrolled in the academy and headed for New York, where she eventually rented an apartment. Each morning, she'd wake up at 6 and take the subway to casting calls. [/SIZE]
