AMANDA COLLEY VAN COOLL
25 YRS. OLD, CONSTRUCTION WORKER
MINDORO
“Survivor ako dahil bilang isang construction worker sa mundo ng mga lalaki, kinakaya at ginagawa ko ang trabaho, enjoy ko pa!”
Amanda Coolley Van Cooll works as a general labor construction worker in Alaska.
Name a work in construction and she’s done it all -from driving trucks to mixing cement.
“I love building things and working with my hands,” Amanda said when asked why she chose a career considered for men.
Amanda said that she got bored working in a bank, doing the same things everyday.
“In construction, there’s really no specific job description. The work is very physical and there’s always something different and new in every project,” Amanda said.
Amanda grew up a probinsyana and is accustomed to island life. She is confident that her experiences prepared her enough for the game.
For the challenges of Survivor Philippines Palau, Amanda did a lot of research and a lot of eating, too.
“I really had to gain some weight, because alam ko na papayat ako,” she added.
