Simone is a 25-year-old diversity advocate from Worcester, MA who currently resides in New York, NY. She will be a member of the Hustlers tribe called "Yawa" on Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, which premieres September 27 on CBS.
Survivor's new season will feature 18 castaways divided into three tribes, each comprised of six people, who possess similar characteristics that represent their profession or reputation, and how they are perceived by others. The other two tribes are "Levu" (Heroes) and "Soko" (Healers).
"Heroes: They are heralded for their courage, their achievements, and ideals for which they stand," longtime host Jeff Probst said in a Season 35 preview clip that aired during the reunion of last season's Survivor: Game Changers.
"[Healers] receive gratitude for their acts of service in helping people heal their emotional and physical pain. [Hustlers] are respected for their work ethic -- 'Get it done, no matter what.' They stop at nothing to achieve their goals."
