Her passion for learning and training didn't stop there. She wanted more from her body, and so alongside her studies she engaged in pole competitions, strength training, CrossFit, and entered her first bodybuilding competition as a junior bikini competitor at the age of 17. It was during this time that she decided to pursue this path, she qualified as a personal trainer.

At the age of 20, Mel moved to Dubai to advance her career. One year after her move, in 2017, she organized the Middle East and Asia's first pole competition, the Dubai Pole Cup. The event attracted both national and international athletes from over 17 countries.
