NEW ORLEANS, LOS ANGELES: 'The Bachelor' Season 28 contestant Kelsey Anderson is a junior project assistant manager at a marketing firm in New Orleans since September 2022.

She was born in 1998 and grew up in Germany on a US military base. Kelsey's parents served in the military. 

Before joining the marketing firm, she worked part-time as an aftercare teacher at an Episcopal school. According to her LinkedIn, Kelsey went to school at Saint Leo University in St Leo, Florida. Kelsey earned her Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in project management at the school. She also received her Associate of Arts degree in 2021.

However, Kelsey survived a 'scariest' car accident in December 2016. She shared the photos of her crashed car on her Instagram and reflected on the horrific incident.

She wrote on Instagram, "I honestly don't even understand how I walked out with just some Bruises and scratches, God was definitely with me and has plans for me!"

Kelsey further noted, "I'm okay I am just really sore and tomorrow probably will be worse but I feel so blessed and honestly feel like I have a different perspective on life. Definitely the scariest thing I've ever been through. WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT."

Now Kelsey is all set to star in the latest season of the ABC show to vie for Joey Graziadei's affection.

What is Kelsey Anderson looking for in her potential partner?

Kelsey Anderson is all set to appear in Joey Graziadei's season of 'The Bachelor'. She described herself as a 'Southern sweetheart' and searching for a man with a great sense of humor. She also wants her partner to be understanding and one who loves giving back as much as she does.

Kelsey's love language is to make thoughtful gifts for her partner, so hopefully Joey should be getting a lot of gifts. Joey's suitor's social media suggests that she carries a fun-loving, outgoing and party-going personality, which somewhat meets Joey's expectations.

Joey, who starred in Charity Lawson's season of 'The Bachelorette, wants a partner who is outgoing, caring and shares his love for adventure and exploring the outdoors. Joey loves hiking, surfing, and ending his days watching the sunset.

He hopes that his partner will enjoy spending time with him.
