She took up rowing in 2008 aged 15 and was a member of the Western Australian U21 rowing team.[2][3] Rowe competed at the New Zealand national championships in 2008 and rowed with the women's novice eight; they took out the championship that year.[4]
Rowe relocated to New Zealand for better elite rowing opportunities. Based in Auckland, she is a member of the North Shore Rowing Club, and she trains at the Auckland Rowing Performance Centre (ARPC).[5] At the 2012 New Zealand national championships, she won bronze with the women's senior coxless quad sculls, and bronze with the women's senior eight.[6] At the 2014 nationals, she won silver with the women's U22 eight, and bronze with both the women's U22 coxless pair oars and the women's premier eight.[7]
Rowe was accepted into New Zealand's U23 squad in 2014.[5] At the 2014 World Rowing U23 Championships in Varese, Italy, Rowe was part of the U23 women's quadruple sculls team that won bronze.[8] At the 2015 national championships, she won gold with the women's premier coxless four in a team with Kelsey Bevan, Christie Davis, and Kayla Pratt.[9] During the 2015 season, she was a reserve for the national U23 quad and rowed at the two World Rowing Cups that were contested by New Zealand that year.[10][3] In 2016, she was a reserve at the final Olympic Games Regatta in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[3] At the 2016 nationals, she won a bronze with both the women's premier coxless four and the women's premier eight.[11]
