With respect to her educational background, there are no available details on the schools she attended starting from high school to university, and neither is there any information as to certificates she acquired during the course of her learning but we believe the actress is well-educated, judging from her status and upbringing.

The Halloweentown star made her acting debut at the age of six

The actress developed her passion for acting at a tender age and began showcasing her talent for acting at the age of six when she made her on-camera acting debut in the movie titled Fell’s Redeemer produced in 1997, playing the character Alicia. Moving ahead as a youngster, in 1998, she landed the role to play the karate girl in the movie 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain where she co-starred with her brother James.

She strived more in her acting career and at age seven in 1998, Emily landed a role in the Halloweentown film series to play the character Sophie Piper and there, she starred alongside Kimberly J. Brown and Debbie Reynolds. The series was a hit and became one of the best Disney Channel Original Movies of all time as it was ranked No 9 on the 25 best Disney Channel Original Movies list which was published by Complex Magazine. Emily Roeske became popular and drew the attention of many who watched how she flawlessly played the role assigned to her in the movie.

In 1999, she featured on ER in the September 30, 1999 episode titled “Leave it to Weaver’s” as Michelle Kinney. By 2001, at age 10, she landed a recurring role in the first sequel of the Halloweentown movie series Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge.

In 2004, she played a recurring role in the third installment of the Halloweentown movie series titled Halloweentown High, although later in that same year 2004, the actress took a break from acting which was probably to focus on her education and prepare herself for pursuing her other career dream which is martial arts. Also, the actress and her family relocated to Arizona which is where they now reside. In that same year (2004), Emily and her elder brother James got their second black belt in America Freestyle Karate at Burbank Family Martial Arts.
