Biography
Emawayat ‘Emi’ Elmitt was adopted from Ethiopia when she was eight years old. She completed her education at Merici College in Canberra and now attends classes at Parramatta Actors Centre.
Despite her shy, reserved demeanour, Emi tends to blossom in the spotlight and will give a malleable, infectious, inspiring, surprising and gung-ho performance as a model and actor. Despite—or because of the challenges in her life, she continues to thrive as a unique, creative, sought-after individual with the world of limitless possibility and opportunity at her feet.
Emi predominantly uses Auslan for communication and generally can work quite independently with an Auslan interpreter. She can also understand visual language and follow movement instructions easily.
