Of those opportunities she’s earned, the actress has been in a handful of prominent projects, the most notable being the last season of Net flix 13 Reasons Wh,y where she played the character Priscilla. Her thirst to be an on-screen star stemmed from her early vocation,
“
The ultimate goal for me was to be an accomplished actress, I always knew anything I did should help me reach my goals in my acting career.
”
She’s just getting started but has another feature film star ring evK in Har t due out nex t year as well. Her fashion prowess also began at an early age with a childhood dream of becoming a Guess Girl. Having been inspired by the likes of famous icons who started their career in modeling and made the transition to acting like Halle Berry, Emelina took advantage of taking any break she could, “I started small with conventions, promos, and print shoots.” She then manifested her own destiny and applied to work for her dream brand, Guess, only to be accepted without any help from an outside agency after some persistence. She puts it simply, “I make things happen for myself. I told agents for years, I’m a perfect Guess girl, I had the Guess girl look. I had to be
proactive and go after it. I ended up shooting with a Guess photographer, and he sent my photos and booked me right there on the spot. It was a dream.” Well, her dream has come to life where she currently represents the Guess brand each month with multiple lines. When both types of cameras are not rolling, you might be sur prised to find Emelina with a bow and arrow in hand practicing archery as a hobby she’s had for years now. More likely, though, she’s sun tanning on the beach or traveling. On most days, she lives a normal life like the down-to-earth hubris she embodies: staying in with her Pomerania and watching Net flix just liek the rest of us. The bot om line for the entrepreneurial go-getter Emelina Adams is that the rumors are true, “I’ve earned everything for myself in my career”. She is as sophisticated as she is beautiful, as intelligent as she is fashionable, and as hardworking as she is humble. She has all the right qualities to make for a scripted Hollywood ending. Following her career will be a fun ride to the top where you will see an American girl’s dreams come true, and a success story unfold.
