The Bachelor Season 29 is just days away, and the girls fighting for Grant Ellis’ heart seem to be some serious catches. One woman stuck out as the perfect combination of brains and beauty, though (and no, we’re not referring to Zoe McGrady).

The woman we’re speaking of is the definition of girlboss—she has an impressive resume, she’s gorgeous, and she enjoys a nice cigar. Grant did state that he’s looking for his Beyoncé, and this contestant checks off many boxes.

Stemming from Birmingham, Michigan, Parisa works as a Pediatric Behavior Analyst.

According to the University of Massachusetts, Pediatric Behavior Analysts “are professionals who help solve behavior-related issues in all sorts of environments. Their field, which is called applied behavior analysis (ABA), is most commonly associated with treating children on the autism spectrum.”

In her LinkedIn profile, Parisa revealed that she graduated from Ball State University in 2019, where she earned a master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, with an emphasis in Autism studies in 2019.

“During my time at Ball State, I gained hands-on experience with various assessment tools and evidence-based interventions. My passion for behavioral, physical, and mental health drives me to advocate for autism awareness, acceptance, and support. I’m dedicated to creating a more educated, inclusive and compassionate society by advocating and instilling hope in my clients and their families,” she wrote about her time at the acclaimed university.

Despite working in her home state of Michigan as we speak, she also worked in Shanghai, China from April of 2019 to January of 2020 — how impressive is that?

While the Bachelor beauty is incredibly career-focused, she is also a girlboss in her personal life. When sharing a series of fun facts with ABC, Parisa admitted that she’s “a wiz with PowerPoint,” as well as a rock collector. To top things off, “Parisa relaxes by watching organization content on TikTok.”

Needless to say, she is so much more than meets the eye!

Not only is Parisa drop-dead gorgeous, but she “is empathetic, resilient and ready to settle down,” hopefully with Grant.

The rest of her official Bachelor biography is as follows:

“She has always dreamed of starting her own family and longs for an emotionally intimate connection with someone with whom she can be a power couple. She loves to cook, travel and enjoy charcuterie nights, and not to be cheesy, but Parisa is truly one of a kind. She is hoping to meet a man who is loyal, honest and funny, and is excited for her the power of love to guide her on this journey.”

According to her Instagram profile, the 29-year-old also enjoys working out, dressing up and even smoking cigars. With Parisa, you never know what you’re gonna get…

Nevertheless, “Will Grant be the love and happiness she’s been searching for? Parisa, let the journey begin,” said biography concluded, and we are already on the edge of our seats, waiting to see what her Bachelor journey will entail.
