Wow I don’t even know where to start! I came into this journey searching for my one true love and unexpectedly finding infinite love from bachelor nation and beyond.
It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions these past couple of months. I truly couldn’t have done it without you all. For everyone who saw themselves in me, whether it was past you or present you or future you…. We are all trying our best to be the best version of ourselves. We are not defined by one moment, one circumstance, one experience, one mistake or one heartbreak. We are defined by how we actively choose to grow from it.
Thank you for opening your hearts to my story. Being the first Asian American bachelorette has been a healing experience for me and I couldn’t be happier to watch my community come alive. No matter where you are in your search for your identity, please remember you are worthy and you are exactly who you need to be.
Although this love story didn’t end the way I had hoped… What you guys have seen is a snippet of our love story and two real people navigating a complicated situation. My heart is heavy grieving but I have to make room for forgiveness and keep the main thing the main thing which is ultimately my heart. While emotions were high on stage, at the end of the day, I will always have love for the person I fell in love with and I am choosing to wish him the best in his journey of life and will always root for him.
I want to acknowledge the heartbreak felt from around the world as it’s such a universal experience. To all the lover girls and boys out there, our greatest gift in life is how big our hearts are. It is easier to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.
Lastly, I am still healing. It’s been difficult processing the past few months and it will continue to be difficult for me to fully understand my own heart at this moment. However, what I do know is that I am worthy of an unconditional and unwavering love whenever that love may come.

WHAT A DREAM
I can not begin to explain how grateful I am and how surreal this all feels.
I’d like to thank my friends and family for supporting me through my journey to this point. Without them, I would not have the strength and courage to do any of this.
Also, FIRST ASIAN BACHELORETTE?! You have no idea how much this moment means to me. Growing up I never got to see anyone who looked like me lead their own love story on TV. To be able to inspire a generation of people to be proud of their culture is something I’m so grateful for. This opportunity to find love as the Bachelorette is so much bigger than myself and I am embracing that whole heartedly.
I am so incredibly excited for this crazy adventure to find my person and I can’t wait for all of us to laugh and cry together.
Take a tequila shot for me…Cheers!!! 🫶🏼
I can’t believe I didn’t get to make out with anybody on this island 🙂↔️ thank you to @495productions@amazonmgmstudios for a truly unique girls trip!!! What started as a getaway turned into something messy, emotional, healing, unexpected and so far out of my comfort zone 🫢 C’est la vie I guess!!!
