Meet this week's Bachelorette, Katie Jensen. I’m currently a sophomore majoring in nutrition. My hometown is Carol Stream, Illinois, which is a western suburb of Chicago. I’m not really in any clubs or organized activities, but some things that I like to do are snowboarding, hiking, knitting, traveling and trying new things. I also volunteer with Open Arms of Minnesota. And bonus, I never get cold.

I’ve heard you make some delicious home-cooked meals. What is your favorite dish to make?

I like to bake more than I like cooking, mostly because I’m much better at it, and I burn things a lot when I’m cooking because I get impatient and turn the burners up way too high. My favorite things to bake are chocolate banana muffins and chocolate chip cookies.

What is your ideal date?

My ideal date would be doing something outdoorsy then going to get food. I really like hiking, kayaking, paddleboarding, bike riding… yeah, pretty much just anything outside. Also, as basic as it is, I’m always in the mood for Chipotle.

What does Open Arms volunteering do?

Open Arms of Minnesota cooks and delivers meals to people in the Twin Cities area with life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis, etc. I help with the packaging of completed meals and the prep work for cooking when I volunteer (chopping vegetables, portioning out ingredients, etc.). Working shifts is always a lot of fun and the other people that also volunteer there are super nice.

What are qualities do you look for in a guy?

The number one thing I look for in a guy is someone who is really funny. Also, it would be a bonus if he was cute, too.

Dogs or Cats?

I’m definitely a dog person. I have a black lab mix named Sam and a great dane mix named Corn back at home in Illinois.

Describe your love life in 5 words.

Nobody wants to date me.

What celebrity would play you in your life movie?

I honestly have no idea I barely ever watch movies, and I definitely don’t keep up with anything celebrity-related.

Do you have a secret talent? If so, what is it?

I’m really good at doing cartwheels, and I’m learning how to play the ukulele. I’m also super flexible and can pop into the splits anytime anywhere.

Biggest pet peeve?

When people chew their food very loudly. The world does not need to hear your dinner.
