At the 2018 IBU Open European Championships, Kalkenberg won bronze in the mixed relay together with Kaia Wøien Nicolaisen, Håvard Bogetveit and Fredrik Gjesbakk.[1]

She made her World Cup debut in the 2017–18 season, finishing 69th in Oberhof. After several lowly performances, she broke the top 20 with a 20th place in Canmore in the 2018–19 season, also recording a 2nd place in the Canmore relay. In the 2019–20 season, her best finishes were 26th and 15th in Kontiolahti.[2]

She hails from Skonseng. When she was a child, Kalkenberg suffered from myalgic encephalomyelitis for two years, being diagnosed at Rikshospitalet. Her parents credit Live Landmark's "Lightning Process" for Kalkenberg's recovery.[3]
