Jenna Tran is bringing her "Jenn-ergy" to Season 21 of "The Bachelorette," premiering Monday night on ABC.
The 26-year-old "Bachelor" alumna, who is the first Asian American "Bachelor" lead in 22 years, is ready to find the one from a pool from 25 eligible bachelors.
"Jenn Tran is a sweet and compassionate woman who has dedicated her life to helping others," Tran's "Bachelorette" bio reads. "The bilingual Vietnamese beauty currently resides in Miami and is ready to find love with a man who’s as reliable and thoughtful as she is."
Here's what to know about Season 21 of "The Bachelorette," including contestants, trailer and how to watch it.
Tran, in an interview with USA TODAY, said she "experienced a lot of pressure" being the first Asian American bachelorette, adding that her inclusion is a "very historic moment, being the first in 21 seasons."

"It's a moment that a lot of people have been waiting for," Tran said. "And it means a lot because we're working towards change."
Tran, who is training to be a physician's assistant, also said that the role didn't come naturally to her, and she was afflicted by impostor syndrome.
“I just never saw myself as a main character before,” Tran said in the interview. But, she now realizes, “The perfect bachelorette is just who you are to your core and being yourself."
Season 21 of "The Bachelorette" will premiere with a 2-hour episode on Monday, July 8, at 8 p.m. ET, with new episodes dropping weekly every Monday.
ABC has not released the full schedule for Season 21, and it not yet clear how many episodes the season will have. "The Bachelorette" typically has nine to 13 episodes per season.
