She later studied journalism at the Latin University of Costa Rica. Additionally, she developed her talents in painting and sculpture at La Casa del Artista and trained in playwriting with renowned figures like Sanchís Sinisterra, Fernando Marías, Jeannette Rodríguez from Planet Films, and Costa Rican Walter Fernández. For many years, Rosibel was the host of the program “Noticias Columbia” on Radio Columbia, 98.7 FM. She also worked as a Spanish teacher for foreigners at ICLC in Alajuela, representing Costa Rica in master classes in Rochester, Minnesota, USA. Rosibel Carvajal is known for her performances in "Un Regalo Esencial" (2018), "Tres Marías" (2010), and "The Accursed" (2010).
