Career She started curling in 2014. Before that she was a figure skater. Halse became the skip of the Danish National Junior Women's Curling Team in 2019, where she skipped the team at the 2019 World Junior-B Curling Championships (January). They lost in the quarterfinals and would not qualify for the World Juniors. Later that year, she became the skip of the National Women's Team and represented Denmark at the 2019 European Curling Championships, where they went 2–7.

The Danish team qualified for the playoffs for the first time since 2011, finishing the round robin with an 8–5 record. They then lost in the qualification game to the United States, skipped by Tabitha Peterson 8–7.
