Early life

Rosanna Pansino was born on June 8, 1985, in Seattle, Washington, where she was raised alongside her sister Molly Lu.[10] She is of Italian, Croatian, German, and Irish ancestry.[11] Throughout her childhood, she was known by friends and family as a "nerdy" and "awkward" kid, and in school, she struggled with dyslexia.[12][13] She originally wanted to become an actress,[14] and after attending Pacific Lutheran University, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.[12]

Pansino's interest in cooking was inspired by her father and grandmother,[15] and she stated in 2014 that "...baking has always been a hobby of mine. I have always loved being creative with my food and making themed sweets for my friends."[16] On December 17, 2019, Pansino announced throughout her social media outlets that her father, who appeared in several of her videos, had died due to leukemia, which he had been fighting for six years.[17][18]

Career

YouTube work

Pansino began her YouTube channel in 2009 after she was encouraged by a few of her friends who had also worked on YouTube, and had started making videos to get more comfortable in front of a camera.[14] After her early baking videos gained a steady following, viewers eventually started to request more.[19] Because she had never seen a baking show on television or the Internet, Pansino decided to create the Nerdy Nummies series. She later revealed that in her early years of YouTube while she had still worked as an actress that she had to choose between acting or YouTube, the ultimatum given by her agent.[14] She remained adamant that she would not quit YouTube, despite the risks being taken at the time.[20] Pansino told Cosmopolitan in 2015: " At this point, I wasn't making any money on YouTube. I knew that it was possible to do that but I wasn't making a dime. I decided, I'm going to do this. I'm not going to let YouTube go."

Nerdy Nummies quickly became a hit, and brought Pansino much recognition and acclaim. Her channel has attained over 3 billion views, making it the most popular cooking channel on YouTube.[21] She has since received several accolades; in 2013, she won the Shorty Award for Best Foodie, Chef or Food Lover in Social Media.[22] She has also received five Streamy Award nominations for her work on Nerdy Nummies.[22][23][24][25][26][27] According to Forbes, Pansino has remained one of the highest-paid YouTubers, reporting her to have made seven figures each year through sponsorships and advertisements.[4] Commenting on her success in an interview with Business Insider in 2014, she stated: "I've never thought about how to make a video go viral. From the very beginning I have always wanted to use YouTube to better myself and share things I enjoy with the world. If others want to join me on that journey I am happy to have them as viewers."[21]

Pansino has been noted for her consistent upload schedule, not having missed a single date since creating her channel.[5] She stated in an interview with Forbes that "I don't want to miss an upload; I'm just not going to do that to my community, they've shown up for me and been so supportive of me, and in exchange I've been there for them—there's always going to be a video waiting for them on Saturday. It's this relationship and bond that I never wanted to break and I'm really proud that I haven't because it has been difficult at times." For the upcoming future, she said that she hoped to "be making baking videos until I'm 90 years old."[5]
