Elizabeth Anne Andrews is in her third year at The Round Up, and her first as Editor-in-Chief. She is a junior majoring in Journalism and Media Studies with a minor in Creative Writing. She has written over 30 articles for The Round Up, three of which have won Best of SNO awards, and one that was also published in the Las Cruces Sun-News. She attended the NMPA College Journalism Workshop in 2024, and the CMA ProCon25 with the rest of the editorial and multimedia staff.  Elizabeth Anne always knew she had a passion for writing but wasn’t always sure where that would lead her. When she attended a virtual tour of NMSU in high school, she was drawn to the journalism program. Since beginning her career as a journalist at NMSU, she has grown to love it for the opportunities it gives her to meet people and learn new things. She is excited to continue working at The Round Up and leading this year’s staff. She hopes to help The Round Up bring accountability to campus, local and national leaders, and shine light on organizations supporting the diverse student population of NMSU. After graduating, Elizabeth Anne hopes to work at a local paper. Maybe one day she’ll work for a national paper, but for now she’s happy to focus on issues specifically affecting the borderland community she fell in love with when her military family moved here a few years ago. In her free time, Elizabeth Anne enjoys reading, listening to vinyl records, and spending time with her family.
