Stemming from Abbotsford, British Columbia, Chrissa Perez graduated from the University of Fraser Valley in 2019, and now she works as a Marketing Director at Chinook Helicopters. “Chrissa has brought a fresh aspect to our marketing strategy and the events she plans are always a huge success… Chrissa has been instrumental in the everchanging focus of our social media,” the company shared in a statement.

When she is not working, Chrissa admitted to ABC that she loves to read Colleen Hoover books, go to breweries, play board games (specifically Scrabble), play golf, and more. According to her Instagram profile — where she has amassed almost 2,000 followers — the 27-year-old also enjoys spending time with her friends and family, soaking up a good sunset, going to brunch, traveling, and more.

As far as a relationship goes, Chrissa revealed that she has been engaged in the past, so she is undoubtedly ready for marriage, as long as she meets a man with no red flags this time. To top it all off, the Canadian cutie has served as a “caretaker to many people in her life, and she is ready to receive the love she gives to so many others,” something in which she elaborates on in an Instagram reel posted by The Bachelor.

Chrissa Perez let her vulnerable side show in said Instagram reel posted by The Bachelor, sharing a rather personal story regarding her upbringing. “My mom had a stroke in 2014. I took full guardianship of my little sister. That was a turning point for me. I want to live my life to the fullest. I know I’m deserving of love, and Joey’s an awesome guy,” she shared in the video.
