As an actor, Madelyn had her TV debut as "Amy" in ABC's "The Baker and the Beauty", which rose to popularity as the number one show on Netflix in spring 2021. She performs with the Bronx Arts Ensemble/Lehman Children's Theater Company, which brings classic fairytales with a modern spin to young Bronx audiences. She has studied improvisation at the People's Improv Theater, and with Amy Larimer of the Raving Jaynes. Madelyn enjoys creating and performing devised theater with her friends as part of a collective called Zoo City; a favorite project with this group is "Brainfood", in which the actors tell an imaginative story of struggle and acceptance while cooking a delicious breakfast for the audience.

She produces Groundswell Series, an annual site-specific outdoor dance festival that brings dance into shared spaces in parks and playgrounds in Brooklyn, NY. Madelyn is an advisory board member of the Bronx-based REDi Dance Company, in which she is also a collaborating dancer. She also works as a program manager and teaching artist for REDi Dance's educational programs, the Dance Bridge Workshop and Junior Company.
