Cielo Rodriguez, Editor-in-Chief
Cielo Rodriguez is entering her second year with The Round Up as the current Editor in Chief. This is her fourth year studying at New Mexico State University and is majoring in Journalism and Mass Communications and Political Science. She was born and raised in Clovis, New Mexico and is an only child.
She has been writing since she was about ten years old, and has never stopped since. Cielo enjoys writing creatively and enjoys covering tough news stories, and pursuing the truth in everything she reports on. Her passion for governmental work and activism was also found at a young age– influenced by her mother and her Hispanic roots.
Reading, writing, and playing video games are among some of her hobbies, along with continuing her spiritual practice by doing tarot readings and studying astrology. She has a passion for all music, but some of her favorite artists include Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers, and Harry Styles. In the future, she hopes that her current position at The Round Up can further her and the organization into great opportunities and continue to grow as a writer and an editor.
