De la Rosa also leads a residency at Casa Mezcal NYC where she has been performing on a weekly basis for more than a year.

She has also shared the stage with her mentor Terri Lyne Carrington, Steve Cardenas, Paquito D’ Rivera and Pedrito Martínez to name a few.
In Fall 2022, de las was asked to join the NYU Clive Davis Institute Faculty - where she teaches Music Theory. She has also been part of the Berklee Guitar Sessions Faculty. De la Rosa is currently the Program Manager of the Next Jazz Legacy: a program that supports emerging women and non-binary artists in jazz under the Artistic Directorship of Terri Lyne Carrington.
