[7] A poem she wrote in sixth grade was published in Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans.

[12] After placing fourth at the novice level at the 2008 U.S. Nationals, she decided to contact coach Tom Zakrajsek.

[15] Ahead of the 2010–11 season, Zawadzki decided not to compete on the Junior Grand Prix circuit but to move directly to the senior level.

[19][20] On June 3, 2011, Zawadzki announced a coaching change to David Santee and Christy Krall.

[11] In the 2011–12 season, Zawadzki's Grand Prix events were 2011 NHK Trophy and 2011 Cup of Russia.

On October 9, 2013, she switched back to Zakrajsek, with her training base remaining the World Arena Ice Hall in Colorado Springs.
