Early life and education

Elísabet has additionally participated in volunteer work abroad in South Korea, and speaks conversational Korean, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese due to her participation in volunteer work and language schools.[2][1]
Prior to becoming Miss Universe Iceland, Elísabet worked with the Icelandic Red Cross and Tölum Saman, an Icelandic organization that teaches the Icelandic language to immigrants to better prepare them for employment and education in Iceland.[1] Elísabet has additionally worked with the Icelandic charity Bumbuloni, which raises money for families with chronically ill children.[1]
Pageantry

She competed as Miss Northern Lights, and ultimately placed as the first runner-up behind winner Birta Abiba Þórhallsdóttir. She was initially not scheduled to return to the competition the following year, but after the COVID-19 pandemic caused the Miss Universe Iceland 2020 competition to be pushed back from March 2020 to October 2020, Elísabet was added as a new competitor following the withdrawals of several contestants.[3] Competing under the title of Miss Glacier Lagoon, Elísabet went on to win the title.[4][5][6]
