A graduate of Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, Rockefeller completed an internship for former Congressman Marion Berry in Washington, D.C., prior to serving on the campaign staff of former Congressman Vic Snyder and working for the Arkansas House of Representatives.
Rockefeller is an active volunteer in many nonprofit organizations and has served on the board of the Envoys, an advocacy group of the UAMS Cancer Institute Foundation.

After giving birth in 2013 to twin boys who spent 51 days in the UAMS neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), Rockefeller saw the need to assist other families whose babies were experiencing extensive hospital stays.
