Who is Samantha Jeffries?

Samantha is a 26-year-old from San Diego, California. This red-haired beauty is clearly a woman of many talents. According to her Instagram profile, she is a registered and licensed doctor of occupational therapy, she also lists her other credentials such as a certified educator of infant massage, and a licensed social worker! Her description as an "outgoing go-getter" on her 'The Bachelor' bio seems to be apt. 

She makes it very clear that even though her career is extremely important to her, it isn't her number one priority, Samantha's biggest desire is to have a family. So, this red-haired beauty is ready to find a man with whom she can grow a family. She describes her dream man as "gregarious, loyal and supportive."  She is seeking a "real man who will enhance her life". She is also pretty clear about wanting a partner who will be her equal so that she doesn't have to be his caretaker. Samantha's fun and outgoing personality can be clearly seen in her many Instagram posts as she trots across the country with her loyal furry friend Millie. She loves brunching, going to EDM festivals, and snuggling with her dog while enjoying a glass of white wine.

She recently took to her Instagram to share about her renewed passion for Christianity. She wrote, "Need to be deep, no filter or fluff. I’ve been a Christian for many years but realized my actions said otherwise. I appeared “behaved” to some but was very worldly. I was content participating in the bare minimum. I occasionally prayed, read a devotion, and visited church. I went through the motions and selfishly engaged in activities I thought would bring me peace, love and joy. My priority was pleasing others instead of God. I had the most anxious heart under my “glowing surface.” Recently God has been speaking to me in various ways: conviction through worship, biblical passages and fellowship, as well as repeated lessons/advice/conversations. I do not want to be recognized as a lukewarm Christian anymore. I want to be known for being bold, intentional, proclaiming, and pursuing." 

You can catch Samantha and learn more about her on 'The Bachelor' Season 26, which premieres on January 3, 2022, on ABC.
