Born in Canada, Tate began commercial modeling with Ford Models 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.

Onscreen, she played Chloe Jones in Rian Johnson’s series “Poker Face” (Peacock) alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt (S1 E9 “Escape from Shit Mountain”) and a lead walker on “Dead City” (AMC) in their premiere episode (S1 E1) [bottom photo].

She then completed working on the limited mini-series “Dying For Sex” (Disney/FX), starring Michelle Williams, Jenny Slate and Sissy Spacek, based on the hit podcast of the same name, where she doubled, performed stunt and intimate/nude work as Molly/Michelle Williams in addition to two co-star roles, in episodes one and four, portraying the Naked Woman and an Emergency Room Nurse respectively. All episodes dropped on Hulu/Disney+ (Intl.) on April 4th to rave reviews, a 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes and the show was subsequently nominated for nine Emmy awards. She additionally worked on Netflix’s miniseries “Sirens” (LuckyChap) from showrunner Molly Smith Metzler (“Maid”), working alongside Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, Meghann Fahy and Milly Alcock, which became the most-watched English-language show in its premiere week with 16.7 million views in its first four days. It topped the Nielsen streaming charts for its debut week and maintained its No. 1 spot the following, totaling nearly 1.4 billion minutes viewed. It was nominated for four Emmy awards.

She is also a stunt performer, having recently completed work on Peacock/A24’s Friday the 13th prequel series, “Crystal Lake”, and as Michelle Williams’ stunt double on the movie, “A Place In Hell”, directed by Chloe Domont, alongside Ms. Williams and Daisy Edgar-Jones.

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. She continues to model occasionally in her ‘free’ time, 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.
