Bio
Christy Smith was the 11th person voted out of Survivor: Amazon and the fourth jury member. She was a member of the Jamburu tribe initially, before the tribes merged into Jacare.
Christy attended high school and college in Washington, D.C., where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology/criminology from Gallaudet University.
She worked as a children's adventure guide for the Aspen Camp School for the Deaf. Previous to that, she worked as a facilitator at Hemlock Overlook in Virginia.
Smith is deaf (she can hear minimal sounds but relies on lip-reading skills). Her primary motives for being on Survivor were to promote awareness for the deaf and win $1 million.
Her favorite hobbies are socialising, doing anything outdoors and writing letters. She has traveled to Costa Rica and spent 50 days on a wilderness adventure trip in Alaska with Outward Bound.
She describes herself as succulent, independent and goal-oriented.
She is most proud of the time she has spent working with juvenile delinquents where she taught them how to work in groups to develop growth and self esteem.
