She migrated to Germany with her family when she was one. In 1994 she started in kickboxing and Thai kickboxing, and in 1996 in amateur boxing. After becoming champion runner-up in kick-boxing and multiple German champion in the International Amateur Boxing, she turned professional in 2006.

On 1 April 2011 just before a title fight against the Bosnian Irma Adler in Berlin-Karlshorst, her stepfather and former manager Hicham El-Halabi shot her in her hand, knee and both feet, a few month after his management contract was terminated in January 2011. He also injured two security guards before being arrested. The reason of the assault was apparently private, Hicham El-Halabi disapproving of Rola's relationship with a married man of Greek origin.
