Raised in a culturally diverse environment, she developed an early fascination with performance art, prompting her to pursue formal training at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. While at Tisch, Rasmussen honed her craft across three distinct programs: the Experimental Theater Wing, the Classical Studio, and the International Theater Wing in Amsterdam, experiences that equipped her with a versatile skill set ranging from avant‑garde techniques to classical methodology. This rigorous education laid the groundwork for her nuanced on‑screen presence, allowing her to transition seamlessly between dramatic and comedic roles.

Throughout these projects, she has been praised for her commitment to character authenticity, a trait rooted in her experimental theater background. Beyond her screen work, Rasmussen remains dedicated to theater, frequently collaborating with experimental troupes and participating in workshops that emphasize physical storytelling and improvisation. She continues to balance film roles with stage performances, reflecting a career philosophy that values artistic exploration over commercial predictability. As of the present, Rasmussen is active in both mediums, consistently seeking roles that challenge conventional narratives and allow her to expand her expressive range. Her ongoing contributions to film and theater underline a steadfast commitment to craft, positioning her as a dynamic figure in contemporary American acting.
