| How would you rate your experience with this person? | 5-excellent |
| Comments regarding your experience with this person (not required) | She had some form of leadership role on the team her entire time with us in pastry because she’s willing to take on tasks that will help the greater good of a group but also because people trust her. She represented her teammates well on all occasions and when she was personally dealing with adversity with an injury she still turned up everyday to be there for the team. She battled her way back from being out the sport for a whole season by taking up running and pushed herself everyday and became a marathoner. I was regularly surprised and impressed with her work ethic. She was an absolute joy to coach. |

| Comments regarding handling conflict (not required) | She is very good at being fair and level headed during conflict but she still internally battles in a pursuit to keep all parties happy. She improved greatly with her confidence and ability to make hard decisions while she was here and has all the tools needed to keep improving. |
| Please rate this person's dedication or engagement to their work or studies | 5-excellent |
| Comments about dedication or engagement (not required) | Due to her injury one year Hathaway received an extra year of eligibility and she made the choice to go to grad school at Saint Mary’s so she could contribute to the team for an extra year and it was amazing. It was her best year of rowing and she took her role as a leader and was able to have even more fun with it. Her dedication to her team and coaches was remarkable. |
| Please rate this person's willingness or desire to improve their performance | 5-excellent |
| Comments regarding willingness or desire to improve performance (not required) | She will do all the necessary work to try to improve her performance including, reading about it, listening to podcasts, asking for feedback, doing extra workouts. I have seen the determination in the hard moments turn into action in quick time and evolve into new resolve and eagerness to find that next level. |
| What would you consider this person’s strengths and/or weaknesses? | She had many strengths but her role as a leader stands out as having the biggest impact on the team as a whole. Her weakness is management of louder personalities, she is a strong but quiet leader so that can push her outside her confidence zone. |
| Is there anything else you feel would be important for us to know, and if so, please describe? | She’s an excellent person and any team/organization would be lucky to have her on board. |
