20 Questions with Rachel: Find Out What Being on ‘The Bachelor’ Taught Her, Plus: The Person Who Inspires Her Most
Fans are getting to know Rachel on Clayton’s season of “The Bachelor,” and she made a great first impression on Bachelor Nation.
During her conversations with Clayton, Rachel has opened up about landing her dream job as a pilot.
She has since stopped by the “Click Bait with Bachelor Nation” podcast, where she discussed the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated industry.
Rachel also shared that while she loves her career as a pilot, it’s also very important to her to have a family.
The Bachelor Nation star said, “I feel like a lot of women get put in a box where you can’t have both, and I always wanted both. I always wondered why I couldn’t have a family and my career. The first thing people say to me in this career when I tell them I’m a pilot is, ‘Oh, so you don’t want a family and you don’t want to get married?’ They just put you in that category, but finding a supportive partner is really important to me.”
And there’s still a lot to learn about Rachel that we haven’t seen yet on-screen.
