Juliana Perez

Juliana Perez is a contestant from Survivor: Peru – The Inca Empire.

Profile
Juliana Perez was born and raised in La Paz, Bolivia by a pastor and a chef. Growing up, she held high expectations of being a good Samaritan. She collected church donations for her minister, prepped meals alongside her mother at a soup kitchen, and constructed wire radios for the less fortunate Bolivian locals who lacked electricity. At age thirteen, she and her parents emigrated to Miami, Florida to seek a new fortune, and later moved to the bay town of Pensacola where she graduated from Pensacola Catholic High School.

Juggling studies at Florida State University, long weekend shifts as a restaurant waitress, and family obligations, Perez adheres to her schedule without a sweat. Amalgamating her knowledge of leisure and management, she dreams of becoming a respected hotel manager at a lavish Las Vegas resort. While she has no problem being overly organized, her ultimate pet peeve is uncleanliness.

Perez's hobbies include adventure seeking, boogie-boarding, photography, and sand sculpting. She describes herself as "a pint-size powerhouse" in light of her petite 4'11 height. Her biggest achievement in life is being a caregiver prodigy once living in a poor neighborhood. She thinks the biggest challenge in this competition is dealing with messy and unreasonable people. She believes the Sole Survivor title will go to her because she is a well-rounded communicator, adjustable to different scenarios, and has camped for a week in the Alabaman wilderness before. She wants to be on LEXX'S SURVIVOR to meet new people from across the U.S. for free, and win the $1 million to pay off student loans and give back to the Florida community. For her beginning strategy, she plans to align with the minority bloc and secretly form a bond with another tribemate from the majority crowd to take to the final four.

Perez is single and lives in Panama City Beach.
