While competing in the Miss Asia Calgary beauty pageant, Beltran was scouted and signed by a talent agent to begin auditioning for film and television roles. Shortly after, she booked her first television credit on Guilty Party and relocated to Vancouver to play the role of Amber in Sophie's Rules.
