Tate is a graduate of the University of Michigan, where she rowed for all four years, earned three varsity letters, and graduated in 2020 with a degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering. Tate began rowing in 2012 in Norwalk, Connecticut, at the Maritime Rowing Club. After achieving success on the junior level, Tate continued her rowing career as a walk-on at Michigan. During her time on the team, Michigan won the 2019 Big Ten Championship and secured two 3rd-place finishes at the NCAA Championships. In the spring of 2020, Tate's season and college career abruptly came to an end due to the cancellation of the NCAA season due to COVID. She graduated and relocated to Utah to start a career in management and strategy consulting. In the fall of 2023, Tate returned to the sport and was excited to take on her first coaching position with Utah Crew. Beyond her involvement in rowing, Tate takes full advantage of Utah's mountain sports, including climbing, skiing, trail running, and slacklining.
