Born to Romanian immigrants and raised with help from her grandmother, Elysia Rotaru always had a love for creative achievement. She grew up speaking both Romanian and English, and as a kid she thought it was a superpower, and still thinks it is.
At the age of two, Elysia began training for what laid ahead in life. She started skiing when she could walk, was taught how to use tools and to fix things around the house, family camping trips taught her to respect the earth, and Army Cadets helped her develop survival skills. Later on, she learned how to help save the planet through beekeeping. Having also been a competitive classical pianist, she developed a lifelong passion for performance.
After turning her attention to the performing arts and graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, B.C., Elysia's acting career soared, landing roles in both television and film. Her credits include: Disney Plus’ Turner & Hooch, The CW’s Arrow, USA Network’s Psych, FOX’S Backstrom, and ABC’s Motive. She can also be seen in numerous feature films including Buddy Games, Cold Pursuit, Dead Again in Tombstone, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules.

Elysia has also been making waves in the voice acting community, lending her voice to numerous projects. Voice highlights include: Black Canary in Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment’s Justice Society: World War II, SHIELD Agent Alisande Morales in Marvel’s Play Avengers, Beatrice Villianova in EA’s FIFA series, She-Hulk in Marvel’s Super Hero Adventures, and Sable Spirit in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Elysia has also voiced for Lego Star Wars, Nordstrom, and McDonald’s, and is the voice for CBS’ The Talk, Hallmark's Movies and Mysteries Channel, Fox Sports North, Paramount Network's Ink Master, and the 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
