Rocsi started dreaming about becoming a model while attending elementary school, which is why she played various sports and paid attention to what she ate so as not to gain weight. She attended West Jefferson High School in Harvey in Louisiana, and was a cheerleader, however, cheerleading came with a cost as she struggled with anorexia for years, only revealing on 30 July 2009 in an episode of “106 & Park” that she had struggled with it. Upon matriculating in 1999, Rocsi enrolled at Nicholls State University from which she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in 2003.
