Erika Burke Rossa, a multifaceted individual with a rich background, was born in the sun-kissed state of Southern California, but her childhood was spent in the vibrant cities of Hong Kong and Taipei, Taiwan, where she was raised with a unique blend of cultural influences.
Upon completing her secondary education at the esteemed Taipei American School, Erika embarked on a journey to the iconic city of New York, where she enrolled at the renowned The Juilliard School, dance division, with the ambition of pursuing a career in the performing arts.
