Annaliese is a 32-year-old event designer from San Francisco, CA.

The blonde beauty will be vying for Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s heart when the show premieres Monday, January 1 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

Arie will be looking for the love of his life after failing to win Emily Maynard's heart on The Bachelorette's eighth season back in 2012. Arie finished as the runner-up behind winner Jef Holm.

Annaliese has a bright smile that will probably catch Arie's eye right away, but does she bring everything to the table that Arie's looking for in his future wife? To learn about Arie's other 28 bachelorettes, click here.

Below is a list of five facts Reality TV World has compiled about Annaliese Puccini:

- Prior to appearing on The Bachelor, Annaliese worked as an actress and writer.

- The 5'6" bachelorette has a tattoo of a star on her left wrist. She got inked with her mother on her birthday last year.

- Annaliese physically can't live without avocados, cheese and ice cream, and she emotionally can't live without love and laughter.

- If Annaliese could be someone else for just one day, she'd choose Tracee Ellis Ross, Miley Cyrus or Chrissy Teigen because they're all so fierce, confident and unafraid to speak their minds.

- To Annaliese, marriage means a partnership, best friend, someone who makes you your best self and will be a great parent, and a person who will be there for you through thick and thin.
