Rachel has made a slow but steady impression on Joey as The Bachelor heads into its fourth episode on Monday, February 12 on ABC.

Rachel has yet to receive a one-on-one date with Joey, and she memorably had an awkward moment with The Bachelor star in which her earring got caught to the shoulder of Joey's sweater during a group date.

But the brunette beauty has a way with Joey, who told the cameras, "Rachel is so calm and so sweet... She's just making me feel so special... [and] so comfortable."

The couple also shared a romantic kiss during the group date.

Rachel "has worked hard to achieve her professional goals, but she's ready to find someone with whom to enjoy the journey of life," according to ABC.

Will Rachel stand out from the pack and possibly go all the way to win Joey's heart?

Until The Bachelor viewers get to know Rachel better on The Bachelor this season, let's learn some information about her right now.

Rachel falls in love with new things every day

Rachel enjoys dining, from fine dining to good street tacos and lemonade, and spending time outdoors.

"Nature shows off God's wonder and family makes the little moments so worth it," Rachel wrote via Instagram in June 2021.

Rachel also likes to travel, as she recently took a trip to France, and trying new activities. In June 2023, she took a pottery class.


Rachel hopes to find a husband with qualities her father boasts

Rachel is extremely close to her father, and she really admires him.

"He's been through a lot. He's a man of few words, but he's fun," Rachel says of her father. "He's really respectful and he values all women, but just the way he values my mom, has always been such a goal for me."


She adds, "My mom has never touched a door handle, and my dad will play her favorite song randomly or make her food. It's the little things that my dad does, and he has a gentleness to him."

Rachel admits she's never allowed herself to have a man like that in her life. Joey, however, reminded her of her dad in many ways.
