  Presumably there are other employees besides Betty?  If so it would be convenient to start with a table containing (unique) employees and the sample size.  In the case where you're only interested in Betty you could maybe try something like this

  declare 
    @employee     nvarchar(54)=N'Betty',
    @sample       int=5;
  
  with
  rand_cte as (
      select *, row_number() over (partition by review_type 
                                       order by newid()) rand_rn
      from your_table
      where employee=@employee)
  select top(@sample) *
  from rand_cte
  order by rand_rn;

  The ROW_NUMBER function uses NEWID to randomly order the partitioned rows.  Per  your example the code selects all of the rows where rand_rn=1 (there are 3), then all of the rows where rand_rn=2 (there are 2), etc. until the sample total is reached.  It uses TOP(n) and ORDER BY rand_rn to select across the partitioned random numbers
