Born in Canada, Tate began commercial modeling with Ford as a child and fell in love with acting in children's theatre. A self-professed bookworm, she fused her artistry with her social activism early on, all the while excelling at competitive cheerleading, dance, and long-distance running. She graduated with an Honors Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Western Ontario before studying at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City, completing their Two Year Conservatory Program, where she was the recipient of the Vincent D'Onofrio Scholarship Award.

Beginning to work professionally in New York, Tate frequents both the stage and screen. Onstage, she has played Flirt in William Inge’s “The Dark at the Top of the Stairs” (Lee Kasper, dir.), Darlene in Lanford Wilson’s “Balm in Gilead” (Jenna Worsham, dir.) and Marcia in Stephen Adly Guirgis’ “Our Lady of 121st Street” (Kelly O’Donnell, dir.). She was last seen onstage in leading roles in both Unhinged: the 9th annual Women’s Work Short Play Festival presented by New Perspectives Theatre Company and The Future is Female Festival, presented by MultiStages, in honor of Women’s History Month.

Tate has appeared in the latest seasons of numerous television shows, including Blue Bloods (CBS),
Law and Order: Organized Crime (NBC) and Uncoupled (Netflix). Most notably, Tate played Chloe Jones in Rian Johnson’s new series “Poker Face” (Peacock) alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt (S1 E9 “Escape from Shit Mountain”) and she played a lead walker on “Dead City” (AMC) in their premiere episode (S1 E1).
She doubled for Emma Roberts on “American Horror Story”(FX) season 12, “Delicate”, working with directors Jennifer Lynch, Bradley Buecker, Gwyneth Horder-Payton and Jennifer Lamb. She has experience working with dogs, cats, birds, goats, snakes, spiders, maggots, SFX, puppeteers and prosthetic make-up.
She is currently working on “Dying For Sex” (FX), starring Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate, based on the hit podcast of the same name.

Tate has been employed as a teaching artist in both the Young Actors and the Institute program at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. She taught full time during the 2023 WGA/SAG strike.

Tate continues to model occasionally, and has been featured in campaigns for Hint water, Dudley’s restaurant (NYC), The Home Tee, EJ Skalde jewelry, Adobe, Orseund Iris and Urban Outfitters.

Tate is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and is represented by Dream Maker Talent Management. She lives in New York City with her husband.
