Rosa Bordallo is the daughter of Paul and Arlene Bordallo. Born and raised on Guam, she is currently studying Film and TV at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. After graduation, she plans on making documentary and narrative films about life back home in Micronesia. With these films she would like to give stronger voice to the underrepresented Pacific-American community. Her inspiration comes from her Chamorro heritage, and Guam's current struggle for self-determination.
