Together Obee and Jennerich won silver at the 2011 World Rowing Championships.[3] The team competed in the lightweight double sculls at the 2012 Summer Olympics, finishing in 7th place.[2][4][5] After the Olympics, she started a degree in anthropology at the University of Washington.[2]

Obee briefly returned to the lightweight single scull in 2013, before reteaming with Jennerich in the lightweight double scull.[2] The team went on to win silver at the 2014 World Championships.[3] At the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics, Obee won a silver medal in the lightweight doubles, also with Lindsay Jennerich.[6]
