Education

Syracuse University

Notable performances

Her favourite things about rowing are the people that she’s met and the places rowing has taken her to over the years. She spent her gap year in Melbourne, rowing and coaching, and afterwards went to Syracuse University in the US to row – neither of which she would have likely done without being involved in the sport. She also loves travelling to so many amazing places on camp and whilst racing.

Hattie made her Olympic debut at the delayed Tokyo 2020 Games, racing in the Women’s four. Aside from the racing, her favourite Olympic memory is getting to the village in Tokyo, being a part of Team GB and being surrounded by all the other nations. Her rowing career highlight so far is winning a Gold medal in the Women’s eight at World Cup III in Lucerne in 2023 and she’s really excited to see what the Women’s eight can do this season!
