When Zoe McGrady appeared on Grant Ellis’ season of The Bachelor, she made a splash, becoming one of the most talked about contestants right from the outset. From her brash entrance on the first night through her burgeoning connection with Grant, she shone — not only from the confidence but the impressive genesis.
A Career in Tech and Fashion
At 27, Zoe is a unicorn: equal parts analytical and creative talent. She is a tech engineer with a degree in mechanical engineering from Duke University, and has worked in fintech since 2019. But her ambitions don’t end there — she’s also an accomplished model, working with big-name brands like Under Armour and Sephora.
And apart from her two successful careers, Zoe is a born adventurer. She loves pressing herself beyond work, whether it’s boating, jet skiing, surfing or ice skating. Her goal, big picture − when it comes to the future − is starting her own tech.company.
Zoe’s Time on The Bachelor
Zoe quickly made her presence known to Grant, getting one-on-one time with him and continuing on deep into the season. And she got to Hometown Dates, meaning she was a serious contender for his heart. She made it to Fantasy Suites, but there she was eliminated before the final two. Although her journey on The Bachelor ended, Zoe's impact remained.
With her intelligence, ambition and drive, she will probably continue turning heads — in the tech world and outside it.
