After high school, she went to the ‘Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising’ (FIDM) and later attended the ‘California Culinary Academy’ in San Francisco. While studying at the ‘California Culinary Academy,’ she learned the art of cooking from Chef Seiji Wakabayashi. Two years down the lane, Rodriguez wanted to try her hand at modeling and acting.
