Before the season started, Lopez-Alvar shared a photo of the moment she and Underwood met after she stepped out of a limo at the Bachelor Mansion.

In her introduction video, Lopez-Alvar revealed that her “fun skill” that she has is “…singing and I love imitating artists like Beyoncé or Ariana Grande.”
According to her LinkedIn page, Lopez-Alvar graduated from the University of Miami in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Broadcast Journalism. She has worked as a writer and producer, including gigs at the Miami News Times and WSVN Channel 7. Currently, she works for SWARM Event Agency.

While in school, Lopez-Alvar was a member of the Delta Phi Epsilon sorority, a content producer for the “Off the Wire” late night comedy show, and part of an a cappella singing ensemble.
Lopez-Alvar continues to promote the show on Instagram. On a post from last week, she wrote “Lion around Singapore tonight on Crazy Rich Asi— I mean, #TheBachelor ? P.S. – Singapore’s national icon is the mythical Merlion (with the head of a lion and the body of a fish). The statue is a must-see if you visit Singapore. These crazy rich Asians, I tell ya.”
Yesterday, she promoted the show with a frosty cold beer writing, “Tbh football is unbeerable ? One ‘like’ on this post will save a girl who’s watching with her bf rn. One ‘like’ + comment will make him watch The Bachelor with her tomorrow. Choose responsibly ?”
