[1][2] Rowe was raised on Sydney's northern beaches, attending Davidson High School in Frenchs Forest.

[3] By the end of high-school she had joined at Collaroy SLSC[4][5] and was competing in surf-boat racing at state and national carnivals.

She raced for New South Wales in the state representative eight who contested and placed second in the 2018 Queen's Cup at the Interstate Regatta within the Australian Rowing Championships.

[7] In 2019, she was again in the New South Wales Women's eight when they broke the 14 year Victorian stronghold and took a Queen's Cup victory.

[13] In their second competitive outing of the 2018 international season in an Australian selection eight and racing as the Georgina Hope Rinehart National Training Centre, after Rowing Australia patron, Gina Rinehart, Rowe won the 2018 Remenham Challenge Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta.

[16] They placed second in their heat, came through the repechage and led in the final from the start and at all three 500m marks till they were overrun by New Zealand by 2.7secs.

[13] Had they managed to maintain their time of 5:57:15 that they achieved in their repechage they would have beaten the winners, Canada, by nearly two seconds and won the gold medal.

In the A final they led through the first 1000m on a low rating of 37/38 but were rowed through by the high-rating Romanians and a fast finishing USA eight.
