Eryn Rhodes
(she/her/hers)
Eryn is a third-year majoring in History and Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies. She is interested in legal history and political journalism. When she’s not boring her STEM friends by passionately summarizing her latest feminist theory reading, Eryn rides her horse for the UVA Eventing and Dressage Team (and makes horse girl jokes at her own expense) and keeps up with both the Washington Capitals and Formula 1 Racing.
