Terri Wang

Terri Wang is a contestant from Survivor: Peru – The Inca Empire.

Profile
Terri Wang was born on the farmlands near Taipei. She was raised in an agrarian Taiwanese family and enjoyed being her parents' little farmer harvesting vegetables and lavender when she was not attending school or playing with her friends. A decade later, she met her future husband at National Yang-Ming University and exchanged vows after graduating with a Bachelor of Economics. In 1992, she and her husband emigrated to Los Angeles for a fresh chapter in life, but only found themselves working on a clean-up crew after the city's recent riots.

Since moving to California, Wang has worked as a restoration worker, receptionist, assistant manager, file clerk, teller supervisor, and accountant, respectively. She was hired as a loan officer in a premier bank and has served her community in that capacity for eleven years. She won "Employee of the Month" four years in a row and loves to interact with new people. She also volunteers at the Los Angeles Tea Festival and hosts annual banquet raffles to raise money for the Long Beach Fire Department and Police Department.

Wang's hobbies include antique shopping, cooking like television chefs, cycling, and competing in friendly battles with her children in dance video games. She describes herself as an enthusiast who loves trying new things. Her biggest achievement in life is earning enough money by working odds-and-ends jobs to travel and live outside of Taiwan. She thinks the biggest challenge in this competition is being fierce in physical competitions. She believes the Sole Survivor title will go to her because she loves to interact with new clients at work and is no different in forming relations in Survivor. She wants to be on LEXX'S SURVIVOR to win the $1 million to save for her children's college funds, and because her kids convinced her into auditioning for their favorite show. For her beginning strategy, she plans to be a friendly helper at camp.

Wang lives in Lakewood with her husband, Edison, and is raising a son and a daughter, James and Kelly-Anne, who both play soccer.
