She obtained a bachelor's degree of Business Management in St Brigid's College Australia, but continued to be interested in acting, so she joined the Theatre Institute.

    Bleszynski's first appearance in film was in Issue (2004), followed by Big Day (2006). In 2008, Bleszynski played the action figure Rrama in Cicakman 2: Planet Hitam and in 2009 worked in the slasher film Air Terjun Pengantin. For this role, she tanned her skin and trained to create an athletic body for the martial arts scenes in her role as Tiara.
