Lambropoulos was born in 1991, and was raised in Saint-Laurent, Quebec, now a borough of Montreal. She attended Gardenview elementary school, LaurenHill Academy high school and Vanier College, where she received the Program Award upon graduation, awarded in recognition of outstanding achievement in the Social Science (Psychology Major) Program. During her time at Vanier, Emmanuella was a member of the Vanier Key Society, a group composed of a talented group of students chosen for their high academic standing, strong communication skills and demonstrated leadership abilities. She then graduated from McGill University with a Bachelor of Education in 2013, where she was the president of the McGill Hellenic Students Association. Lambropoulos had previously volunteered on Dion's team. Another likely candidate, Alan DeSousa, was not included on the ballot at all after being turned down by the Liberal Party. Lambropoulos's campaign received strong support from the Greek community.

On the Official Languages committee, she advocates for anglophones as the minority language group in Québec.
