Elinor Widdows | Finance Chair
Elinor Widdows is a first-year student at UW whose intended major is Law, Societies, and Justice. When she's not talking about fake law, she's talking about real law and when she's not talking about real law, she's probably working on an elaborate makeup look or making a new perfume. She hopes to go to law school and become an attorney with a focus in "not being evil".
