3. She's ready to fall in love on the seventh season of the ABC series, which premieres May 23. (It's already in production.) "I feel like this season taught me so much about myself," she told People. "It primed me for a new relationship. I'm ready to meet 25 new guys. Bring 'em on!"
4. She's from Madawaska, Maine, where she once worked as a dance instructor.
5. If she were stranded on a desert island, she'd bring a phone (“to connect with family/friends and listen to music”), a toothbrush and toothpaste (she "can't stand a dirty-feeling mouth) and sunscreen to "stay young."
6. She understands French, but can't speak it.
7. She has one tattoo on her inner right wrist.
8. She considers herself a romantic. "I watch all the movies, think about ideal romantic dates and am very hopeful for extreme romance to enter my life."
