How did you get here: I attended the American College in Dublin. From there, I studied hospitality and tourism at UMass Amherst and did an internship in property management in North Carolina, as well as a co-op at Walt Disney World. I moved to Boston this year to pursue my career in IT account management at Collabera. And I’m the woman who showed up on The Bachelor in a sloth costume.
In your spare time: Outside of work, my hobbies include painting, podcasts and traveling.
Super power: Making the best out of any situation.
Celebrity crush: Bill Skarsgård, the man behind the clown in It.
Physical trait in a potential date that drives you crazy (in a good way): I love a nice smile.
On a first date, you like to: Put my phone away.
Worst trait: I get very hangry.
Deal Breaker: I really pity people who are judgmental. That kind of negativity must be exhausting.
Most romantic thing in the world: Handwritten love letters.
Why did you say yes to The Bachelor: I couldn’t turn down a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I went in with the hopes of being in a relationship, but instead I left with having gained an amazing experience.
How uncomfortable was the sloth costume: At first, it was very comfortable and enjoyable to wear. That changed on the plane ride home. Kidding!
Most unconventional thing you ever did for love: Please see ABC’s The Bachelor, Episode 1, for a visual.
BACHELORS and BACHELORETTES: Hayley | Mark | Josh | Casey | Caitlin | Jordi | Claudiane | James | Christina | Sam | Matt | Titi | Caroline | Kitzner | Elizabeth | Garrett | Michael | Alex | Chrissy | Derek
