There were plenty of contestants in ‘Survivor 47‘ who impressed the viewers with their determination and perseverance, be it on physical challenges or the ones that tested their mental strength. Out of all the participants, Sierra Wright seemed to catch the attention of many viewers, thanks to her attitude and behavior with the rest of the contestants. Besides the curiosity surrounding her place in the competition, her whereabouts and other aspects of her life were also a matter of interest for many.
Sierra Wright is a Registered Nurse in a Philadelphia-Based Medical Organization
From her early days, Sierra Wright has been under the spotlight, especially after earning the title of Miss Delaware Teen USA in 2015. While she was studying Communication and Media Studies at West Chester University of Pennsylvania in 2015, she also served as Major League Baseball Ball Girl for the Philadelphia Phillies. She also worked part-time as a waitress at Pj Whelihan’s in 2017. A year later, Sierra earned more recognition as she also clinched the title of Miss Delaware USA in 2018. Following that, she served as an On-Air Model at QVC. After earning her bachelor’s degree in 2019, she moved to upstate New York and bagged her first job as a Multimedia Journalist/Reporter at WENY-TV in May 2019.
However, when that didn’t work for her, Sierra decided to switch her career path and try out nursing since she comes from a family of nurses. So, in 2022, she got into the University of Delaware, where she studied Bachelor of Science in Nursing, which turned out to be a great decision. As for her nursing career, she has experience working as an ICU Patient Care Technician at ChristianaCare and as a Clinical Nurse Specialist at Cross Medical Group, where she is currently employed. Being an avid singer from an early age, Sierra also received recognition for her musical talent on ‘American Idol’ as she made it to one of the final rounds before getting to the big stage.

As a cancer fighter, he has faced many mental and physical challenges, especially with multiple sessions of blood transfusions and chemo infusions. In fact, he is one of the main reasons she participated in ‘Survivor 47.’ This dedication shows that she maintains close-knit relations with her family, which includes her father, mother, Angie Crovetto Wright, and loving sister, Alyssa Wright.
On the romantic front, the 27-year-old has been dating the love of her life, Justin Ammerman, for several years. Though she hasn’t delved much into how they met and what made them click, we do know that they have been together since at least 2021. The couple loves to indulge in various adventure trips together and visit each other’s family events as well. In late March 2024, with her sister’s wedding on the horizon, she visited Finger Lakes, New York, for her bachelorette party. In April, Sierra attended the wedding of one of her close friends Sami. Accompanying her to the celebration of love was, of course, Justin, her permanent plus one.
Following her stint on ‘Survivor 47,’ Sierra had another cause for celebration — her sister’s wedding! She watched her sibling tie the knot with her soulmate in a wholesome ceremony packed with friends and family. In September, she took a trip down to Broadway Nashville for the bachelorette party of her friend, Tee, who is getting married soon. Sierra and her long-time boyfriend travel to exotic destinations on the regular, sometimes accompanied by their families.
Sierra Wright Possesses a Strong Zest For Life
Aside from being a registered nurse, Sierra also has a lot of other interests in life which she delightfully showcases to the world. She regularly shares snippets from her life on social media, ranging from her love for food and adventure and once conducted a closet cleanse sale on her profile. It looks like the Greater Philadelphia, Pennsylvania resident is seemingly a skincare enthusiast who recently got a salt facial done in Villanova. In an interview with Parade, the Wilmington, Delaware native opened up about several aspects of her personal life. When asked about her superpower in life, she admitted that it had to be her strong intuition. Though she doesn’t consider it a “stereotypical superpower,” Sierra revealed she “can literally read through people.”
She added, “I feel like I can look at somebody. I’m writing down all these nonverbal cues. I could probably tell you somebody’s story based off of what I’ve learned. So I’m very analytical and just pick up on a lot of things.” Elaborating on the same with an anecdote, Sierra explained, “When I’m at home, I’ll say, ‘Mom, did you see that?’ And she was like, ‘How the hell did you see that? Out of everything that person brought to the table, that’s what you notice?'” From what we can tell, as of today, Sierra has put all her focus in building a fulfilling life for herself, personally and professionally.
