Not afraid to embark on endeavors outside of her comfort zone, Lopez-Alvar later became a contestant on ABC’s “The Bachelor” and “Bachelor in Paradise,” where she was given the rare opportunity to gain first-hand experience in television production and the world of media. Throughout 2019 and 2020, she flew across the country as a television personality and full-time social media content creator, where she attended events such as the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C., to co-hosting a “Good Morning America” segment in New York City alongside Michael Strahan, Keke Palmer, and Sara Haines.
Lopez-Alvar is also on the pulse regarding all aspects of social media. She’s worked in content creation and even developed a caption-generating app for iPhone called “CapGenius.”
Nicole is a major foodie, animal lover, and is always on the lookout for the hottest new restaurants in town. She also has a passion for using her platform to advocate for causes she believes in, especially women’s rights and autism awareness, and is always finding ways to give back to her community.
