Wolk had her first professional onscreen role as Tellulah, a drama-starting high schooler and
frenemy to main character Genevieve, played by
Maeve Press, on the first season of the
Freeform comedy television series ''
Everything's Gonna Be Okay'', which aired in 2020. She deactivated her first TikTok account soon after booking the role in 2019 at the request of Freeform executives.
Entertainment Weeklys Alamin Yohannes called her a standout among the show's recurring characters. She did not return for its second season. She later rejoined TikTok under the username @lives_in_a_society during the
COVID-19 pandemic and gained a following for her provocative persona. After
tweets of hers were shared online and garnered controversy, she soon deleted her TikTok account. While finishing high school, she played a small role in
Judd Apatow's 2022 film
The Bubble. In the film, she played Crystal, a teenage candy shop employee whose friend, Vanya (played by
Mark Eidelstein), hires a sex worker, Anora (played by
Mikey Madison), to be his girlfriend. Wolk had
direct messaged the film's director,
Sean Baker, on
Instagram while in high school after attending a screening of his film
Red Rocket; she said Baker was drawn to her "weird internet presence" and invited her to audition.
Anora won the
Palme d'Or on its premiere at the
2024 Cannes Film Festival. Wolk appeared later that year in the ensemble cast of the
FX television series
English Teacher as Chelsea, a sardonic high school student and best friend to Kayla, played by
Romy Mars. Michael Cuby of
Them praised Wolk as "a more-than-welcome screen presence" in the series. Also that year, she had a supporting role in
Eugene Kotlyarenko's comedy film
The Code as Colette. Wolk moved to
Brooklyn after appearing in
Anora and began performing
stand-up comedy in New York. Wolk appeared in
Mary Bronstein's film ''
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You'' and
Jonah Hill's film
