In recent seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, fans have come to expect jokey job titles and even wacky costumes from the contestants. And this year, it looks like Alex Dillon from Boston is taking the costume initiative. Alex listed her occupation as "sloth," and she chose to wear a sloth costume the first time she met Colton. But who is the Massachusetts native when she isn't goofing off?
When she's not impersonating slow-moving animals, Alex seems to be living a pretty typical 20-something life. Her Instagram feed is filled with photos of her and her friends, as well as photos of some of her hobbies — she's quite a skilled painter. Here's what you should know about this Bachelor contestant.
She’s a Talented Artist
In 2017, Alex posted a photo of a painting she'd created, and it's pretty stunning. The Bachelor contestant also painted the stairs of her house, and they're gorgeous, too. She definitely has major creative skills!
Alex Has a Passion For Travel
A quick scroll through Alex's Instagram feed shows locations from all over the globe. She's visited Dorset, England, as well as Mallorca, Spain, just to name a few places.
The Red Sox Are Her Baseball Team of Choice
I mean, really, would you expect a Massachusetts native not to cheer for the Red Sox? According to her ABC bio, Alex roots for the Patriots, too.
She Has an Office Job, Too
Being a sloth doesn't pay the bills. Alex's Bachelor bio lists her job as being an "account manager for an IT staffing agency." And her LinkedIn profile says she works at a company called Collabera Inc. Although, being a professional sloth would probably be more fun.
Alex Interned at Disney World
According to her LinkedIn profile, Alex participated in the Disney college program in 2016. She worked at the theme park in Orlando, FL, which sounds like a dream job.
Family Is a Huge Part of Her Life
Alex has shared plenty of tributes to her family members over the years, including this throwback National Siblings Day photo.
She’s a Proud Amherst Alum
According to her LinkedIn profile, Alex studied hospitality and tourism at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. (It looks like the college didn't offer a major in how to act like a sloth.)
