She sought sponsorship from local companies unsuccessfully, but eventually found a local politician who agreed to finance the cost of her training, so at age 18, she left Mexico to learn acting at AMDA in New York City. Rodlo now resides in Los Angeles(2020).

In 2021, Rodlo played the lead role in the Santiago Menghini directed Netflix horror film No One Gets Out Alive, alongside Marc Menchaca. The film was shot in Bucharest, Romania, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2022, Rodlo was the protagonist in the Roque Falabella directed Vix horror movie El Vestido De La Novia (En. The Dress of the Bride), alongside Mariano Palacios, where her dream wedding was about to turn into a nightmare.
