I have a request to elevate security on a single login. I would like to be able to audit all activity for this login while the security is elevated to make sure no data edits are made.
Is there a way to trace or audit all activity for a single login?

there's a couple of ways to tackle this, but it depends on what the focus is:
if you want to absolutely prevent the login from UPDATE, you'd create a group, deny update, and then assign that person to the group.
CREATE ROLE NoUpdateForYou
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_denydatawriter','NoUpdateForYou'
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'NoUpdateForYou','Lowell'
if you want to just track whether they are doing updates at all, in an environment where they have update rights but shouldn't be doing so, one way would be to create a DML trace, and filter by username.
after the trace exists, you'd have to search the TEXTDATA column of the trace for INSERT UPDATE or DELETE in the text itself.
here's a DML trace looking for the specific login, "LOWELL", which is what you would change to your target login

I get the following error when attempting to execute:
exec sp_trace_create @traceid = @traceidout output,
@options = @myoptions,
@tracefile = @mypath,
@maxfilesize = @mymaxfilesize,
@stoptime = @mystoptime,
@filecount = @mymaxRolloverFiles
Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Line 1
Must declare the scalar variable "@traceidout".

grab it again; i edited it and retested it on my machine, it seems to work now.
this is what i would use to review the trace:
--SELECT * from sys.traces
declare @TraceIDToReview int
declare @path varchar(255)
SET @TraceIDToReview = 4 --this is the trace you want to review!
SELECT @path = path from sys.traces WHERE id = @TraceIDToReview
SELECT
TE.name As EventClassDescrip,
v.subclass_name As EventSubClassDescrip,
T.*
FROM ::fn_trace_gettable(@path, default) T
LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.trace_events TE ON T.EventClass = TE.trace_event_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.trace_subclass_values V
ON T.EventClass = V.trace_event_id AND T.EventSubClass = V.subclass_value
