A member of the Liberal Party, she has represented the Toronto riding of Davenport in the House of Commons of Canada since her initial election in 2015, and was reelected in 2019, 2021, and 2025. She is a member of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly and serves as one of its vice presidents. Since 2025 she has also served at the Chair of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, and as the elected Chair of the Toronto Caucus of Liberal MPs.

Dzerowicz was born in Toronto, Ontario, to a Ukrainian father and a Mexican mother, Maria Amparo Lizarraga Zataran, from Recodo. She graduated from McGill University with a bachelor of commerce in 1994. She completed her final term at Institut Commercial de Nancy in France.

She received the Scarlet Key Award in 1994, which is awarded to "students who have demonstrated indubitable qualities of leadership, unselfishness and perseverance by their outstanding contributions to the McGill community."

After completing a master of business administration at the University of British Columbia (UBC), where she served on the UBC Senate, Dzerowicz finished her degree at the London Business School.

Prior to seeking elected office, Dzerowicz worked in both the public service and the private sector. In the Ontario government, she served for approximately four years as a senior policy adviser, and in 2011 she worked as a chief of staff.
