Frederiksen was born in 1982 to sheep farmer Sofus Frederiksen and politician Suka K. Frederiksen (1965–2020). She grew up in Narsaq, but moved to Nuuk in 2004 to study language, literature and media at the University of Greenland. After completing her bachelor's degree in 2007, she obtained her candidate's degree there in 2011, partly after a stay abroad at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Her poems deal with the Greenlandic language and the Greenlanders' sense of identity. On 5 November 2020, she was appointed Minister for Education, Culture and Church in the Kielsen VIII Cabinet, succeeding Ane Lone Bagger, who had resigned in the summer, without having previously stood as a candidate in elections.
