Hopkins’ bio on The Bachelor website describes her as, ‘fiercely loyal, intelligent and credits her unmatched work ethic to her incredible mother who raised her.’
She is looking for someone who isn’t afraid to be ‘openly affectionate,’ since being with her means, ‘personal space goes out the window.’
The lawyer is ultimately looking for someone, ‘who will let her be their biggest cheerleader and who will in turn be the same for her.’
