As a University of Waterloo student, @kamillaa_k (BASc ’16) didn’t spend her Wednesday nights at Bomber. She was at home watching Survivor.
Ten years after graduating, Karthigesu watched herself play on the show’s 50th season. She also played on Survivor 48, where she reached the final four and formed an iconic secret alliance with Kyle Fraser, the season’s winner.
Read more about Kamilla’a Survivor experience and how her time at #UWaterloo helped her to Outwit, Outplay, and Outlast.
