Rokhman was raised in San Diego, California,[1] and represents the United States at international competitions. She competed at the 2013, 2014 and 2015 World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships.[2] At the 2015 World Championships, the American team finished in 13th place with 32.299 points, ahead of Brazil and the highest among all non-Asian and non-European countries, and qualified to the 2016 Summer Olympics.[3]

She was born in Northbrook, Illinois, to Dmitry and Sveltana Rokhman,[4] Russian Jews[5][6] who immigrated to the United States. She performs together with Jennifer Rokhman, her twin sister.[7] In 2010, the two sisters moved back to Illinois to train for the national rhythmic gymnastics team.[8] She was a member of the American team at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.[4]
