Facts/Trivia

In her spare time, she likes cooking, shooting, archery, and singing.

According to Rosanna, throughout her childhood, she was known as a ‘nerdy’ and ‘awkward’ kid by her friends and family.

Many of her family members, friends, and her fans call her ‘Ro’ with love. [4]

Her name ‘Rosanna’ means ‘Rose of Grace’ in Italian.

Her interest in cooking was because of her grandmother who also loved cooking.

She wanted to pursue acting from an early age. In high school, she used to act in musicals and theatre plays.

When she first started her YouTube Channel, she invested her life savings on the channel; her savings were around $20,000, which she collected by saving ten percent from every paycheck she ever received. She saved by doing odd jobs such as babysitting and dog walking since the age of twelve. She also worked as a waitress for almost eight years and also worked at Sears and Abercrombie stores.

She began acting and YouTube almost at the same time. In the early years of her career, her agent asked her to choose between acting and YouTube as it was affecting her acting career. Despite the risks, she decided not to leave YouTube. In an interview, she said,
At this point, I wasn’t making any money on YouTube. I knew that it was possible to do that but I wasn’t making a dime. I decided, I’m going to do this. I’m not going to let YouTube go. My agent’s going to drop me. And he did. That’s when I totally invested 100 percent of my time and my life savings into my channel. I worked on my channel full-time for a year before I started to make money. I just had to live off my savings. I lived in a really small apartment with, like, six people and three bedrooms.”

In 2013, she participated in “Walk to End Alzheimer’s” benefit for Alzheimer’s Association, a non-profit American volunteer health organization which focuses on care, support, and research for Alzheimer’s disease.

In 2019, Rosanna was admitted to a local hospital following severe pain and illness. Later, it was revealed that she was suffering from a life-threatening bacterial infection, which was immediately treated.
