1. A taboo topic I love talking about is: Cringeworthy dating fails. I love sharing — and hearing — about those awkward moments!
2. I think a celebrity couple that is the definition of #relationshipgoals is: Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes — quiet, genuine, and clearly happy. Their low-key vibe is total relationship goals.
3. The best relationship advice I ever received was: Never settle for less than the type of love you’re willing to give.
4. My zodiac sign is ___________ and my most [insert zodiac sign] trait would be: My zodiac sign is Libra, and my most Libra trait is my sense of fairness. I’ll always stand up for what’s right, no matter what.

5. My biggest pet peeve is: People who chug an entire bottle of water in one sitting — it’s not a race, and now I’m stressed watching you do it!
6. The first thing I do when I wake up is: Convince myself I can snooze for “just five more minutes.”
7. The song that always makes me want to dance is: Anything Tate McRae! Her music just speaks to me — it’s like she’s putting my feelings into a rhythm I can’t help but move to.
8. My last meal on earth would be: A crisp Caesar salad, rigatoni alla vodka, and a chocolate mousse dessert.

9. My hidden talent is: Clapping loudly with just one hand by flapping it. It’s weirdly impressive and never fails to confuse people.
10. My current phone screen saver is: Since the summer of 2024, my screensaver has been the same: a single rose with “My Plan” alongside a bouquet of flowers saying “God’s Plan.”
11. The person that inspires me the most is: My parents. They left Romania during a dictatorship, started fresh in Chicago, and built a life from the ground up while raising 11 kids. They’ve set the standard for what it means to create a better future for your family.
12. The movie I’ve rewatched the most is: “White Chicks”! Hands down one of the funniest movies ever. I laugh every single time, no matter how many times I’ve seen it. So many iconic one-liners!
13. My favorite emoji is: The 💃, because I’m all about bringing the energy — even if my moves are questionable.

14. My favorite part of being on “The Bachelor” was: learning more about myself and what I’m looking for in a relationship.
15. Being on “The Bachelor” taught me: That the most meaningful growth often comes from embracing discomfort and pushing your boundaries, all while staying true to who you are and what you value.
16. My advice for anyone who goes on “The Bachelor” in the future is: Always pack snacks. You’ll need them for those long, dramatic pauses during Rose Ceremonies.
17. If I had to hang out with only three people from Bachelor Nation for the rest of my life, it would be: Litia, Sarafiena, and Parisa. I’d be lost without them <3

18. If you go on “The Bachelor,” don’t forget to pack: A portable vanity mirror! Trust me, it’s a lifesaver. You’ll thank yourself when you’re not battling for bathroom mirror space!
19. Something I still have from my time on “The Bachelor” is: Everything! Rose petals, Grant bucks, group date outfits — just to name a few. I can be pretty sentimental, so I saved it all.
20. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I hope to be thriving in both my work and personal life. Ideally, I’ll be settled down, starting a family, and feeling fulfilled alongside the people who matter most.
