Michelle appears to have gone on The Bachelor for the right reasons

While many women seem to appear on The Bachelor for more social-media followers and to hopefully become social-media influencers, Michelle didn't even join Instagram until April 2020.

Since then, Michelle has only shared a handful of posts -- so she's clearly not in it for the fame.

Michelle posted the first Instagram photo of herself on April 3 and captioned it, "A little late to the Instagram party but, I made it."
