'MEAT' THE TEAM

Eryn Maloney

Marketing Specialist

Eryn has been at UW-River Falls since 2022, working in Academic Affairs, and University Communications and Marketing as a member of the Continuing Education team.

Eryn grew up in NW Wisconsin living just down the road from her grandparents' dairy farm. After traveling the world as an Army brat for 5+ years her family returned to a small Wisconsin farm. Eryn's family raised a number of different animals, and she was an active member of 4H throughout high school. She now lives on her own hobby farm with her husband and two children. They raise goats, chickens and rabbits; have a couple horses, dogs and cats. She enjoys spending time with family and volunteering with her children's many activities.

Eryn earned her bachelor's degree in marketing communications from UWRF. Her favorite part of getting to work with the Humane Handling Institute is seeing the difference this training makes in the lives of animals and humans.
