Following graduation from McGill with a Bachelor's in rehabilitation science and Master's in physical therapy, Ros began her coaching journey as an assistant coach with Vanier College. After four seasons with the Cheetahs, she returned to McGill as a full-time associate coach, before making the leap to Bishop's as the bench boss.

As a player, Ros competed with Montmorency College in CEGEP before stepping up to U SPORTS competition with the McGill Martlets. During her five-year career with the Martlets, she earned RSEQ rookie of the year, was named a U SPORTS all-rookie, earned RSEQ second team all-star honours twice, and helped the Martlets to five straight conference titles and a national championship appearance in each season. She served as a team captain with the Martlets and excelled academically garnering U SPORTS academic all-Canadian honours. Additionally, she competed provincially with Team Quebec and nationally with Team Canada as a member of the national development team.
