A winner of a popular reality dating show is charting a new course in her personal life, embracing singlehood with intention and unwavering standards.
Since her time on the program ended last summer, the 26-year-old has been focused on self-discovery. She advocates for a foundational principle before entering the dating world: being content and complete on one’s own.
“Understanding yourself and what you truly want from a partnership is crucial,” she explains. “Once you have that clarity, it’s important not to compromise those core standards for someone else.”
This philosophy extends to her professional life as well. She is selective about collaborations, prioritizing brands that align with her personal values and ethics. Recently, she partnered with a well-known haircare company for a fragrance-focused campaign, a collaboration she describes as nostalgic, reminding her of childhood shopping trips with her mother.
“It’s about more than just a product,” she says of the partnership. “It’s working with a brand that shares the right principles. The experience has been a full-circle moment.”
Her life after the show has been filled with memorable experiences, including a dream meeting with a major music icon, which she recalls as a surreal highlight. Through this transition into the public eye, she has also maintained the strong friendships forged during her time on the series, citing a particular bond with a fellow contestant based on shared perspectives.
As she navigates her career and personal growth, her advice to others centers on self-assurance. Whether discussing the confidence a favorite scent can bring or the foundations of a healthy relationship, her message is consistent.
“The goal should always be to feel good for yourself first,” she emphasizes. “Never do anything just to impress someone else. That’s the path to being truly happy.”
