Something every successful TV show needs is a plot and characters to keep the plot interesting—so I guess I was your "girl next door with a disability" character. I'll let you fill in the blanks how you will. Yes, I had an amazing experience! Yes, I stay in touch with quite a few people from the show still. No, I would never let my little sister audition for the show.

I'm so much more than Sarah from The Bachelor, I'm an art director, a mom-in-the-making, an adventure enthusiast, and a mental health advocate. I'm one year in to IVF treatment, I'm engaged to my soulmate, but have no plans for a wedding anytime soon. I'm a number 4 on the enneagram; Fours are self-aware, sensitive, and reserved. They are emotionally honest, creative, and personal, but can also be moody and self-conscious—that's me to a tee. My basic fear in life: that I will have no identity or personal significance. My basic desire: to evolve and redefine my self-expression overtime.

People who know me from the internet might describe me as a confident, secure person, who isn't afraid of anything. But it hasn't always been that way...
