Who is the new 'Bachelorette'? Why Tran feels 'a lot of pressure'
Tran, in an interview with USA TODAY , said she "experienced a lot of pressure" being the first Asian American bachelorette, adding that her inclusion is a "very historic moment, being the first in 21 seasons."
"It's a moment that a lot of people have been waiting for," Tran said. "And it means a lot because we're working towards change."
Tran, who is training to be a physician's assistant, also said that the role didn't come naturally to her, and she was afflicted by impostor syndrome.
“I just never saw myself as a main character before,” Tran said in the interview. But, she now realizes, “The perfect bachelorette is just who you are to your core and being yourself."
