"Almost every aspect of her coaching was poor. As a former athlete of the UAlbany team I was left with a fear of rowing ever again and extremely damaged mental health and esteem after being scrutinized by her. I would say traumatized is an appropriate description. This coach had potential but unfortunately was unprofessional, mean, biased, never coached, unorganized, had double standards, and contributed and encouraged the most toxic team environment I have ever witnessed. She encouraged poor behavior in her athletes and turned them on eachother. It seemed like she got joy out of bullying her athletes that’s how consistent it was. On top of her mistreatment she also refused to provide helpful coaching and advice. Would never give corrections or adjustments and just sat in silence. Many of my teammates left the team and the driving factor was her for each one. Could not recommend less! I would never wish my experience on anyone."

"She clearly has no idea how to coach. She just keeps burning us out (especially last year). You’ll never have a rest day and she makes us do too many hours. This is for Albany rowing btw."

"I ain’t gonna rehash the same vibe. Coach Kim she alright to me but she drove off folk including a good coxswain and a really good rower and made other nice ones leave. I ain’t complainin cuz she treats me a favorite but you best watch out if you in her bad side."

"She thinks a boathouse is going to magically fix all of her underlying issues with the team. It’s quite obvious that she has no idea what the f**k she is doing, she needs a wake up call. Someone will punch her in the coming years. I hope it’s soon."
