Graduated from Pomona College, (Claremont, California) in 1978.

Turned down the chance to work full-time on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine so that she could spend more time with her family. But, she instead agreed to do recurring roles in episodes each season.
Rosalind's father encouraged her to audition for what would be her first television role on the 70s TV sitcom Here's Lucy.
Was enrolled in the communications department at U.S.C. where she hoped to go into broadcasting. After a disillusioning year at the CBS-owned radio station in Hollywood, Rosalind decided to return to acting.
Her parents ran a successful restaurant near Disneyland.
Along with Tim Russ, Jeffrey Combs, John de Lancie and Marc Alaimo, she is one of only five actors to make guest appearances in ten or more different episodes of 'Star Trek' (Star Trek: The Next Generation Season Four through Six and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season One through Seven).
While auditioning for the part of Keiko O'Brien on Star Trek: The Next Generation, she was up against actress Patti Yasutake, who also auditioned for the role. Rosalind eventually got the role, and Patti got the part of "Nurse Allysa Ogawa" on the same show.
Made her first appearance at a Star Trek Convention in August 2005 at Vegas Con.
