Kemp began skating at age six.[6] She teamed up with King in 2003.[6] The pair began appearing internationally in the 2004–05 season. After competing on the Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series, they placed 11th at the 2005 World Junior Championships in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

The following season, Kemp/King moved up to the senior level. They placed 11th at the 2006 European Championships in Lyon, France, and 17th at the 2006 World Championships in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. They were coached by Dawn Spendlove and Stephen Pickavance in Blackburn.[7]

The pair's Grand Prix debut came in November 2006; they placed ninth at the 2006 Cup of China and then seventh at the 2006 NHK Trophy. They trained in Blackburn under Dawn Spendlove.[8] Following the 2006–07 season, they joined Mariusz Siudek and Dorota Siudek in Toruń, Poland.[9]

In January 2010, Kemp/King placed 13th in the short program, 10th in the free skate, and 11th overall at the European Championships in Tallinn, Estonia. In February, the pair represented the UK at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. They finished 16th after ranking 16th in both segments. Concluding their season, they placed 16th at the 2010 World Championships, held in March in Turin, Italy.
