Early life

Mathis grew up in the Detroit area where she said she formed a strong bond with her family. She has said, “I'm a definite Midwest kid. I like green grass and playing outside and all of that. My upbringing was very down home,” Mathis briefly participated in beauty pageants and won her first of only two competitions she’d ever participated in: Miss Teen Michigan. She didn't place in the national pageant but went on to study communications and business at Northwestern University. While there, she embraced acting and explored her talent off-campus. She later pursued her passion and moved to New York.

Blue Crush 2

Mathis went through tough training for her role as Pushy on Blue Crush 2. For this role, Mathis had to learn how to surf, despite having an on-screen surf-double. Elizabeth worked with her dialect coach for two hours every day in preparation for her role as a native South African. She also took dance lessons and yoga to maintain her already athletic build. “I really want to tap into diverse characters," she said. "I want to push the limits of myself. And most of all I just want to have fun.”[3][4]
