Ali Fedotowsky

Alexandra "Ali" Fedotowsky is the star of The Bachelorette Season 6. She won the hearts of America as a contestant for Bachelor Jake Pavelka's affections on The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love. She was the leading contender out of the final four bachelorettes vying for Jake's heart, until she voluntarily left the show to keep her marketing job at Facebook. (Hint: Before taking egregious amounts of time off, read your Employee Handbook first. Duh!) After realizing she'd made a mistake, she attempted to return to the show, but Jake (then in St. Lucia) had moved on with her fellow bachelorettes Gia Allemand, Tenley Molzhan, and Vienna Girardi. Ali's very public heartbreak put her in the perfect place to land the next Bachelorette position. (It also didn't hurt that she was a fan favorite during her time on The Bachelor.)

Ali grew up in Williamstown, Massachusetts, with one sister, one brother, her parents, and grandmother (who is now deceased).

After attending Mount Greylock Regional High School, where she played varsity soccer for four years, she graduated with a 4.0 GPA and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. She received the "Outstanding Undergraduate in Psychology" award from Clark University in May 2006 and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

Ali moved to California after graduation in 2006. She worked as a Senior Communications Associate for Pacific Consulting Group from August 2006 to June 2009 and took her job as Online Sales Operations Account Management at Facebook in July 2009.

Even though this bachelorette dumped love for work, she loves to play. She enjoys hiking, wake boarding, and playing soccer, but also takes pleasure in going to wine tastings.
