Early Life and Education
Emma grew up in Seattle and attended Washington Middle School, and from a young age aspired to become an actress and a model.
She later attended James A. Garfield High School, which is one of the more popular high school destinations for students in her area. She later attended the Orange County High School of the Arts in Santa Ana, California where she became a part of the Music and Theatre Conservatory.

She displayed high intelligence and even competed during the FIRST Robotics Competition of 2013, a member of the FIRST Tech Challenge, and was a finalist during the Los Angeles Regional Competition.
Acting Beginnings
Dumont found acting work early on, when she was cast in the film “True Adolescents” marking her film debut. The film starred Mark Duplass and Bret Loehr, and was aired at the South by Southwest Film Festival. The following year, she continued working on films, including “Dear Lemon Lima”, a comedy based on the short film of the same name, telling the story of a girl who experiences her first heartbreak in Alaska. She took these roles early on, as they were filmed in and around her hometown.
