Personal life
Dorfman is the younger of two sisters. She was in Phi Mu sorority at Louisiana State University, from which she graduated in 2009. She then earned her J.D. from Wake Forest University School of Law in 2012. She had been an Assistant District Attorney for Fulton County, Georgia, since passing the bar in 2012 and aimed to "keep her community safe by putting criminals behind bars."[1]
The Bachelor and The Bachelorette
During Juan Pablo's season of The Bachelor (season 18), Dorfman made it to the eighth episode before pulling herself from the competition.
Dorfman then starred in The Bachelorette season 10, which premiered on May 19, 2014. She took leave from her job as an assistant district attorney to be on the show. She later resigned from her position rather than ask for additional leave.[2] Her choice as the winner was Josh Murray, to whom she became engaged in May; on January 8, 2015, Murray and Dorfman announced their decision to end their engagement.
On February 20, 2017, she made a surprise appearance on Nick Viall's season of The Bachelor; Viall had been Murray's runner-up during Dorfman's Bachelorette season and had sharply questioned her choice of Murray during the season finale.[3]
