Povey began learning to skate in 2003.[1] She trained in Solihull before relocating to Sheffield.[2][3]

Povey made her senior international debut at the Bavarian Open in February 2015. The 2016 CS Ondrej Nepela Memorial was her first ISU Challenger Series event. She placed fourth at the 2017 CS Warsaw Cup.

Her first senior international medal, bronze, came at the Mentor Toruń Cup in February 2018.

In February 2022, Povey was one of the featured skaters in BBC Three's Freeze: Skating on the Edge.[4] She won gold at the Britannia Cup in August and silver at Skate Celje in November. In January, she took bronze at the 2023 EduSport Trophy in Romania.

Povey won her first national title in December 2023. In January 2024, she competed at her first European Championships with the goal of qualifying for the free skate; she did so and placed 17th overall.[5] In March, she also competed at her first World Championships in Montreal. She placed 25th and narrowly missed qualifying to the free skate.[6]
