Here's what to know about Jenn Tran, "The Bachelorette" of Season 21 — who also happens to be a University of Wisconsin-Madison alum .
Tran appeared on "The Bachelor" last season, and during the finale, was announced as the next "Bachelorette."
How did she end up on "The Bachelor" in the first place? Did she ever dream she'd become "The Bachelorette"? And, how does it feel to be the show's first Asian American lead?
She was born in New Jersey after her parents and brother immigrated to the United States from Vietnam, Tran shared in a "Get Ready with Me"-style video "Bachelor Nation" posted in May in celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
Tran hopes to inspire young Asian American girls who are "dealing with the same things" she did as a kid — "having a bit of an identity crisis and not knowing where they fit in" — as well as anyone who has ever felt like they didn't fit in somewhere.
"I never would've dreamed of becoming the role model I once needed when I was a kid," she said. "It's really quite full-circle and surreal."
Tran has been working toward becoming a physician assistant, but is currently taking a "little break" from PA school, which is in south Miami. In the words of her favorite artist Taylor Swift, Tran has "a lot going on at the moment."
"I want to be able to really focus on PA school the best that I can because the end goal is to be a good provider," Tran said. "I'm just pushing it off until I have a lot more time to dedicate to it."
