Although Thurston clearly loves to laugh and have fun, some may be surprised to learn she used to be a successful bank marketing manager at Renton, MA's First Financial Northwest Bank. However, she's since traded her corporate job for a career in comedy.
According to The Seattle Times, following her "Bachelor" stint, the "FBoy Island" star moved to San Diego to try her hand at stand-up. The outlet noted that her interest first sparked at age 20 from making YouTube videos, which led to improv and then TikTok videos during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her following from that helped push her into the Bachelor franchise. Currently, Thurston is working on a prospective show with two other writers while she sharpens her comedy chops.
