Meet Vanessa Dinh ahead of her appearance on The Bachelor

In season 27, the suitresses are aged between 23 and 30, the youngest being Vanessa Dinh, a recent graduate of Louisiana State University where she earned a bachelor’s degree in digital communication and media in 2021.

During her time at the university, Vanessa worked as a sociology researcher for a year. This was followed by working as a file clerk for Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys from April 2021 to August 2021.

She currently works as a social media marketing specialist for GO Eat Concept. The social media specialist hopes to become as successful as Kris Jenner one day. The cast member’s LinkedIn states:

"I am passionate about creating genuine connections, providing exceptional outputs through my work, and bringing a self-starter mindset to any situation I may encounter."

It continues:

"In March of 2021, I earned my Social and Behavioral Responsible Conduct of Research credentials through completing the web-based courses in research, ethics, and compliance for organizations and individual learners."

The Bachelor contestant is ready to meet the love of her life while on the show. The qualities she’s looking for include loyalty and charisma, and hopes to find that in Zach Shallcross. Her ABC bio states that she loves cherries and played a lot of freeze tag as a child. Her dream duet partner is Barry Gibb.

It further states:

"We love a girl that dreams big! And while she's passionate about her work, Vanessa's priority right now is finding her life partner. She considers herself a top-notch foodie, so hopefully, Zach is hungry for good food and a good time! Will this be the end of Vanessa's search for love? Fingers crossed!"
