Rosa Lisbeth Navarrete was raised by strong and funny Peruvian womxn. At the age of five, Rosa's mother took her and her three year old sister on journey from Perú to Los Angeles to be reunited with her father. This experience informs Rosa's creative works, and gives her a unique perspective in the world. It influences her creative choices and collaborative projects. Rosa is able to tap into empathy, connection, and a sense of adventure. Her work has been described as storytelling with heart and humor - elements that ring true in her life.
Rosa is a graduate of University of California, Berkeley’s English/Creative Writing program, a 2021 Justice for My Sister BIPOC Sci-Fi Screenwriting fellow, and a recent Winner of the 2022 CBS Leadership Pipeline Challenge. Read the Variety Article here and see President & CEO at Paramount, Robert M. Bakish give the winning film she wrote In Tune a shout out here www.linkedin.com/Bob6956311420682518528/.
Rosa was introduced to the entertainment industry at the age of eighteen through the nonprofit film school Inner-City Filmmakers. With their support, she landed jobs at Univision Network, Disney, and DreamWorks Studios with ColorForce, Inc. These jobs were incredible, but she stepped away from the work to follow her dream of being the first in her family to get a college degree.
At UC Berkeley, Rosa solidified her appreciation for tech and the arts. Roots of this interest beginning in middle school while attending Math/Science Magnet program, later in high school coding and being part of both the BOEING Job Shadowing Program and the Film & Media Department, to finally UC Berkeley. At Cal, she became a Research Assistant to Professor Lisa Wymore, the Chair of the Theatre, Dance and Performances Studies Department in a virtual dance exchange with UC Irvine through Z-LAB; a tech lab experimenting real time performance collaboration through video, dance, and sound scapes with the use of cloud technology.
Rosa writes about strong womxn, children with super powers, and underdogs. She thoroughly enjoys collaborating on projects - especially those that empower BIPOC/Latinx(e) communities, as she is a strong believer that media representation matters. Rosa is on a personal journey to investigate her unknown indigenous connection to Perú; a path she believes will make her a stronger mother, writer, and leader in her community. As she continues to develop her artistic voice, Rosa keeps her heart compass aligned with the message that the arts should be accessible to all. Media specifically, has the power to validate someone's existence in the world. She sends courage and love to all the shy spirits everywhere, who have a secret wild side.
