Rosa started to dance and act from a young age, performing in a variety of theatre, dance and musical shows throughout her local area. Rosa was an intelligent child, always doing academically well; her KS2 SAT's results were in the top five per cent of the country. At the age of thirteen she won a clothing design competition, which got her the chance to model in an issue of BBC Girl Talk Magazine.

- Yeah, so I have a comedy sketch show... which I created. Does that mean I think I'm funny? Not really. I've never particularly thought about myself in that way and I've never really 'tried' to be funny. I just spent way too much time watching SNL and sit-coms and went that looks fun. I want to do that.
- Creating anything, even something you perceive as the most mundane and run of the mill something imaginable, still has an element of risk involved. It could still somehow go wrong by people interpreting it in the way you hadn't intended it to. This increases with more controversial topics and sometimes it can really back fire. I think everything you do has to be done with a pinch of salt.
- Doing anything creative is a bit like selling your soul. Not in a bad way... you just put a part of yourself into everything you create.
- I have finally found the world in which I belong. I really love this industry and I don't want to live on my parents' sofa anymore... I want a life of my own.
- I wanted to change the world! Well, at least make it a better place... The first moment I knew I wanted to act was when I went to watch this one action film, in the cinema, when I was little. I remember feeling like I could achieve anything when I left the cinema, like I was a super hero, and I wanted to act so I could give others that feeling.
