A native of Honolulu, Hawaii, and a graduate of The Juilliard School, she has graced prestigious venues worldwide, including Carnegie Hall, London’s Wigmore Hall, and Amsterdam’s Muziekgebouw.

Beyond performing, Rohlfing is deeply committed to the intersection of music and public health. She holds advanced degrees in music therapy and psychology and serves as an Associate Professor at Berklee College of Music while practicing as a certified Nordoff-Robbins music therapist at New York University.
