Rosheuvel spent her teen years doing athletics with intent to be a professional athlete. She did the 100-metre sprint, javelin, and the long-jump. However, when she suffered an ankle injury, she turned her focus to theatre.
She studied for a diploma in performance at East Herts College, before going on to study musical theatre at the London Studio Centre.

Rosheuvel’s first professional theatre credit was portraying Donna on a nine-month European tour of Hair, while she was still in college.
