Medgyesi competed at her first ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) assignment in August 2015, in Slovakia, and at her first ISU Challenger Series event, the 2015 CS Mordovian Ornament, in October. Her first senior international medal, gold, came at Skate Helena in January 2016.

In February 2016, she placed 14th in her individual event at the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics in Hamar, Norway. A member of Team Discovery, she won the bronze medal in the team event.

In March 2017, she competed at her first ISU Championships – the 2017 World Junior Championships in Taipei, Taiwan. Ranked 32nd in the short program, she did not advance to the free skate. During the summer, she relocated to Bergamo, Italy, where Franca Bianconi and Rosanna Murante became her coach.
