After practicing architecture for fifteen years, Ylian landed a small role as a reporter in A-Bo the Humonkey.

Whilst based in Vermont, Ylian worked on films such as; Shuttle, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, The Proposal and the Tyler Perry film The Family That Preys.
Upon returning to Florida where she now resides permanently, Ylian assumed a number of roles in both film, commercials and television including; Followed (James Kicklighter), Renee, Contagion, Good Deeds (Tyler Perry), The Investigator (Richard A.
