Kiyanah Rodney

UCF '26

Kiyanah is a staff writer for the Her Campus chapter, majoring in Political Science with a minor in English Literature, with plans to graduate in the summer semester of 2026. She finds herself interested in global and U.S. politics, including political content. Some of her passions include writing on Substack for fun to offer political commentary, journaling, and researching on the side. Kiyanah is involved in several campus organizations to stay connected, such as the International Relations club and the League of Women Voters.

After graduating from UCF, Kiyanah plans on attending Law School or pursuing a career working in diplomacy. Outside of school and other activities, she loves going to the beach in her local hometown, reading books, and thrifting! One memorable experience Kiyanah experienced through UCF was studying abroad in the summer of 2025 in Costa Rica. The internship allowed her to gain a new global perspective on foreign politics and become exposed to other cultures.

Studying abroad taught her how to let go of fears to make friends and gain confidence in social settings. As a current writer for Her Campus, Kiyanah aims to utilize her own experiences, skills, and passions to deliver readers unique stories based on current events.
