I feel like I learned so much about myself in my own journey.
I'm not practicing phlebotomy anymore.
I actually love to poke people's veins and draw their blood, so I'm probably looking at your veins when I first meet you.
Once I make a decision, I don't really go back on it.
I will say it's nice to train with someone to kind of pace yourself and try to push yourself as well.
I'm a part of Team World Vision for the New York City Marathon.
I'm a die-hard Hoka fan.
Obviously it kind of sucked not to be announced the way that every Bachelorette has been announced or not to experience all of that excitement beforehand.
Since moving to New York City, I've become such an indoor slippers girl.
If there is one thing I am, it is a robe and sweats kinda girl.
The Kindle is perfect for any on the go reader! It is so easy to learn to use, saves space, is accessible and has endless book options right at your fingertips.
I feel like a lot of people tend to run into a routine which in turn makes them bored, which then turns into a failed relationship because then you just start getting, like, antsy. You want to go do more things. You just are - I hate this - 'I'm unhappy.'
I hate that in a relationship. I hate when people are like, 'I'm just not happy. I want more.' So make it more. Like, figure out what spices up things.
I can finally say I'm the Bachelorette.
I feel like what I've taken away from my previous experiences, is just really leaning into it.
Aside from someone that makes me laugh and is spontaneous and fun, I like someone that is a family man. Someone that is ambitious, challenges me, but I like successful, someone that's God-fearing.
You never know what's going to happen and people surprise you.
I was never someone who was able to afford all of this skin care. You jump on some of the trends because you expect them to work, and when they don't, it's really disappointing.
It's important for my skin to stay hydrated especially when traveling on planes and when I'm in dry locations.
I've experienced a lot of sunscreens giving me a purple or white cast on my particular skin tone, which can really take away from your overall skin health and appearance.
Well, I want my kids to have a sense of spirituality. That's what I was raised with, and something I fall back on.
I love white!
I started running in high school.
Personal records were a really big deal for me. I was always trying to best myself.
I absolutely dreaded the idea, but my dad had always been a huge advocate of all of us kids being active in some form or another. So it didn't really come out of nowhere when he said, 'You need to join the cross-country team.'
I think I'll just roll with the punches as they come.
I've grown a lot; I've learned a lot. I don't think you can put a price on that.
I love going to the beach and just sitting and watching the sunset by myself.
I've learned the value of just putting my phone down and shutting off the noise.
I've always been really confident in my features. I love how big my eyes are, and I love my nose, I love what God's given me, and that's the way that my mom raised me to be.
It wasn't until my sophomore year of college when I got really bad acne.
New York has been such a joy to experience. It's so different living there as opposed to visiting. It's a different kind of magic.
People surprise you.
Oh my gosh, I have so many wants, so many dreams.
I do believe everything happens when it's supposed to and so I'm leaving the doors open for that.
I begged my mom to take me to CPR class at the age of 12 because I wanted to start being a babysitter in my community.
I babysat for 13 different families at the age of 13.
Children have always been near and dear to my heart.
Seeing children, there's just something so pure and innocent about them that makes you want to be a better person and impact them.
I absolutely love food. I love flavors and spices and all of it. But I'm always looking to nourish my body and eat food that makes me feel good.
I used to start my day with coffee. I looked forward to it every night when I went to bed. But I've been feeling like my body was missing something, so I started trying out celery juice and lemon water instead.
I love getting a rotisserie chicken and cutting that up for salads.
I love finding a recipe, making something fun and different, and feeding it to people. That's one of my biggest joys.
Being in a mixed relationship with someone that has never dated anybody of color before and sharing that experience, I would never shy away from opportunities like that.
I have an issue with trust.
I want to help kids from abused homes and girls who are transitioning from teenagers to adults who have low self-esteem.
My dad was very strict with me.
A long-distance relationship is hard, even without COVID.
It's not normal to watch back your relationship on television, let alone with multiple relationships happening at the same time - and then also having your fiance sitting in front of you, being one of those men.
