Byron's older sister grew up acting and would help her prepare and take her to auditions. When she was five years old, she featured in an advert for Heathrow Airport, where she played a "sassy business lady".. She later was cast in an advert for Arby's. In 2017, at the age of five, Byron began portraying Constance Calendar in the third season of the children's drama series Hetty Feather, and she continued playing the role until the show's end in 2020. She got the audition for the role the same week she got auditions for Heathrow Airport and Arby's. Byron found it "amazing" to see the Hetty Feather set in-person as she had previously watched the show. Byron was the youngest person on set and was glad that the older child actors included her. She filmed in Kent, away from her home, during her stint on the show, which she called a "massive part" of her life. Byron felt lucky that the writers trusted her with "a big storyline for the final series". When she was six years old, she made her West End debut in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Apollo Theatre, playing one of the children; the play was also filmed and put on the National Theatre at Home website. She was filming the fourth series of Hetty Feather whilst taking part in the place and thus would commute twice a week from Kent to London to perform at the Apollo.

That same year, she made an appearance in the film Education, part of the anthology Small Axe. Byron portrayed Dana in the 2021 film Sweetheart.
