Rooderkerk was born in Leiderdorp, South Holland.[3] Upon completing her secondary education in 2005, she was cast for the role of Esmée Klein in the soap opera Onderweg naar Morgen, broadcast by BNN.[3] Following the cancellation of the series in 2010, Rooderkerk studied international relations at the University of Amsterdam, obtaining a master's degree in 2014.[3]

Between 2014 and 2021, Rooderkerk worked as a civil servant at the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.[3] She won a seat in the municipal council of Amsterdam in the 2018 municipal election, and was re-elected in the 2022 municipal election.[3] On 22 November 2023, she ran in the 2023 general election as the sixth candidate on the D66 list, and was elected into the House of Representatives.[3] She was installed as MP on 6 December 2023, but she temporarily left the House due to her parental leave days later.[3] Rooderkerk was replaced by Tjeerd de Groot, and she returned on 29 March 2024.[4] Rooderkerk became D66's spokesperson for primary and secondary education, emancipation, art, culture, climate, energy, and mining.[5] To promote reading among children, she proposed with Arend Kisteman (VVD) to automatically enroll newborns in local libraries.[6]
