Rose moved to the United States from Jamaica at the age of 14. She has lived in New York City since and has flourished both academically and socially. Here, she comments on how she has been received by co-workers;
I’d say I’ve had a particularly good experience in my jobs. People might think I’m a little exotic, that’s the most it’s affected me like, “Oh really, girl from Jamaica, tell me all about it,” and they’ll like ask me questions… it hasn’t really been a problem and I haven’t been made to feel uncomfortable in any of those situations.”
