Hey ya'll! My name is Sammy Jo Cienfuegos and I'm one of the two Viewpoints editors. I'm a senior Writing and Rhetoric major, with an emphasis in Creative Writing. I'm currently working as It's On Us' At-Large Advisor for Latinx Students, Workshops Coordinator for SEU's It's On Us chapter, and as a volunteer instructor at Austin Bat Cave. In my free time, I enjoy exploring East Austin and eating hot chips.
