Meet Rosalie Sun

We had the good fortune of connecting with Rosalie Sun and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rosalie, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
Rosalie Solutions helps community members navigate complex public systems, whether it’s government forms, applications, or local resources, in ways that are approachable and clear. Too often, people give up on important processes because the systems feel intimidating or confusing. By offering affordable, bilingual, and supportive guidance, we make sure no one has to face these challenges alone.

The impact reaches beyond individual clients: more survivors feel safe enough to seek protection, and more neighbors are able to connect with community resources they might otherwise miss. At its heart, Rosalie Solutions is about lowering barriers—restoring access, confidence, and dignity. When everyday people can engage fully, the entire community becomes stronger, more connected, and more resilient.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Rosalie Solutions was created out of something I witnessed again and again, people feeling lost in front of government forms, court documents, or community resources, unsure of where to even begin. I wanted to build something that makes those systems less intimidating and more accessible.

Getting here wasn’t easy. I was balancing school, motherhood, and adjusting to a new culture. There were doubts and setbacks, but each challenge taught me persistence, humility, and patience, qualities that continue to shape both me and the business.

What sets Rosalie Solutions apart is our community-first approach. We don’t just provide affordable and bilingual support, we focus on lowering barriers and restoring dignity. Whether it’s helping a survivor of domestic violence feel safe enough to take the next step, or giving someone the clarity to move forward with confidence, the work is always about making sure no one has to face these processes alone.

What I’m most proud of is that this business is rooted in gratitude. Arizona has given me so much through professors, classmates, neighbors, and even strangers who supported me along the way. Rosalie Solutions is my way of putting what I’ve learned into practice and giving back to the community that lifted me up.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that impact doesn’t always come from grand gestures. It comes from being present in those overwhelming moments when people most need support. Everything I’ve studied and experienced was never just for myself—it was to be shared, so that more people can benefit, feel empowered, and move forward with dignity. That is what Rosalie Solutions stands for: making complicated systems human, approachable, and navigable, so everyone has a fair chance to move forward.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
When friends visit, I don’t just take them to the usual tourist spots. I want them to see the Phoenix I know and love. At night, we might go country line dancing at Handlebar J in Scottsdale, or join a salsa crowd downtown at places like the Duce. For food, I’d skip the chains and head to Los Dos Molinos for real New Mexican spice, or to Pizzeria Bianco, which locals brag about as one of the best pizza spots in the country. If the timing is right, we’d spend a Friday evening walking Roosevelt Row during First Fridays, where the streets are filled with artists, live music, and food trucks.

For nature, I’d take them to the quieter gems. Hole in the Rock at Papago Park is perfect for sunset, and Dobbins Lookout at South Mountain has the kind of night view only locals recommend. In the summer, we’d spend a lazy day floating the Salt River, it’s messy, fun, and one of those “you have to be from here” experiences.

Outside Phoenix, I love going to Prescott. The cooler air, the old courthouse square, and lakes like Watson Lake give it a small-town charm that feels completely different from the Valley. And of course, no trip is complete without Sedona. For me, Sedona isn’t just beautiful, it’s the most spiritual place in Arizona. The red rocks and energy there are unforgettable, and it’s even more meaningful because I study at the University of Sedona. Every time I go, it feels like both a getaway and a reminder of how connected we are to something bigger.

That mix of nightlife, food, art, hidden desert views, and the peace of Prescott and Sedona is the Arizona I love to share.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I am deeply grateful to the professors, mentors, and classmates I met at ASU who encouraged me and believed in me when I doubted myself. Their support gave me not only knowledge but also the courage to keep going. I am also very thankful for my work as a hospice volunteer. It was heavy at times, but it changed me in ways I can’t forget. Sitting with people at the end of life taught me about compassion, humility, and what it really means to live fully. And truly, every person I’ve crossed paths with has left something with me—kindness, advice, or simply encouragement at the right moment. My story isn’t just my own; it belongs to all those who helped me along the way.
