And yet, day after day, I’m stunned by this administration’s disregard for tradition, history, and public space.

The White House isn’t just a house. It’s a symbol of democracy and a museum of American history. But the Trump administration just announced plans to add a ballroom.

There aren’t rules that say “don’t build this” or “don’t pave over that.”

There shouldn’t have to be because some things are sacred.

Huge shoutout to Team46! We’ve had to juggle so many unique challenges that sometimes I lost all sense of time. Nevertheless, this journey has been nothing short of incredible. I’ll never forget the feeling of walking through those gates at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW 🥲

As a member of Gen Z, my perspective has been invaluable in advancing this Administration's strategic priorities. From hosting historic creator events at the White House to brainstorming innovative ways to engage with audiences, l've been able to bring fresh ideas to the table.

As a creator myself prior to joining the White House, I have been able to help bridge the gap between digital creators and a traditional-press-centered institution, fostering a collaboration that was both authentic and impactful.
