Trinity’s Diverse Students Navigate Anxiety Amid DEI Crackdown Trinity Washington University’s commitment to diversity faces a national challenge, but its community remains resilient.

I recently had an article published through my journalism program at Trinity Washington University.

In 2026, my word is purpose. And that purpose is about redefining how we document and how we build with AI. This journey is just getting started, and I’m here to invite you to be part of something amazing. Let’s document with intention and build a future where great documentation empowers everyone

My word for 2026 is PURPOSE 💚. Not just moving… but moving with intention. Every step, every decision, every chapter I enter next is aligned with who I’m becoming. This year, I’m building with clarity, creating with confidence, and choosing myself every single day.
