After graduation, Melanie returned to BC to pursue acting full-time. In 2013, Melanie graduated the Acting for Stage and Screen Program at Capilano University and has been making her mark in the Vancouver film & television industry since.

Most recently, Melanie can be seen starring in the indie feature "All in Madonna" [Blue Lake Films] as Maddie, which premiered at the Whistler Film Festival in December 2020 and earned her a 2021 Leo Awards nomination for Best Lead Performance Female Motion Picture.
