Ramsden was born in New York to Mark and Margot Ramsden. Her father had a career in foreign affairs for the New Zealand Government, and was assigned to the United Nations at the time of her birth. From the age of three, she was raised in Wellington, New Zealand. She also studied at International Schools in Suva, Fiji, Solomon Islands and Addis Ababa. Ramsden studied history and literature, with a focus on the Pacific at Harvard University, graduating in 2024. She has siblings Griffyn and Isla.

Competing indoors in Boston in February 2023, she ran a personal best time of 4:30.19 for the mile, which placed her second on the all-time New Zealand women’s mile lists behind only Kim Smith, who ran 4:24.14 in 2008.
Ramsden won the 1500m title at the 2023 NCAA Outdoors Championships, held in Austin, Texas in June 2023, in a then personal best time of 4:08.60.
