Mckenna, 25, QLD

PR Manager

Mckenna is a confident 25-year-old who runs her own PR Agency and values depth in conversation above all else. She’s hyperaware of security and safety when it comes to relationships, and she often worries about finding a partner with whom she can truly connect.

Mckenna’s recent experience with her parents’ separation has left her with the belief that love alone is not sufficient to sustain a relationship. As an only child who grew up with numerous cousins, she learned the art of sharing but still maintains her independent side.

Her recent relationship helped her recognise the essential traits she seeks in a partner. Disliking online dating, she hopes The Bachelor experience will provide the perfect “meet cute” story to share with her grandkids one day.
