In 2012, Pallett played a troubled 17-year-old school girl, Shelby Dixon, in BBC's Waterloo Road, a role that was twelve years younger than the Actress herself in real life and then guest starred in Casualty as psychotic character Keeley Hyatt. That same year, she was cast as Sarah McColl in British horror film Devil's Tower.
