This week’s is a sophomore studying psychology – Juana Trujillo (Santa Ana Pueblo)! Juana’s career goals are to use her experience & understanding of psychology in combination with massage therapy to support the wellness of clients while also following her people’s ancestorial process of creating traditional Santa Ana pottery. She selected her major after taking an AP psychology course with a teacher who was passionate about the subject and made the course fun & interesting. Juana takes pride in her cultural background, she’s especially proud that resilience runs in her blood, sharing that “My people have, and continue to have, big dreams, that is a reminder for me to continue working hard for what I dream in.” Thank you, Juana, for allowing us to share a bit of your story!

To close it out, Juana invites you all to her house for her Name Day on June 24, St. John’s Feast Day, and for St. Anne’s Feast Day on July 26 at the Old Santa Ana Village.

Jadyn Harrison (Diné) is this week’s ! Jadyn is a junior majoring in psychology with a biology minor. He plans to continue with a master’s in psychology and, potentially, medical school. He wants to use his education to work in the medical field as either a psychiatrist or physician and focus on supporting the youth within this community. Jadyn chose to attend because he enjoyed campus when attending the AISS American Indian Junior Day & Senior Day in high school, it’s not too far from home so he can easily visit his family, and he wanted to take advantage of the NM Lottery & Opportunity Scholarships. While in college, he keeps the teachings of living Hózhó – living in beauty, harmony, balance, and goodness – at the forefront of all he does. He’s proud to come from a people who value these teachings to make peace with others and not be negative towards each other. Let’s hear it for Jadyn!

This week’s was previously highlighted in 2020 as an undergraduate student and now, Callie Crespin (Comanche Nation & Apache) is in her first year as a medical student at the UNM School of Medicine! Callie is a first-generation college graduate and plans to serve as the physician in New Mexico upon completing medical school. As a first-gen student who wants to stay & practice in New Mexico, she’s grateful for the NM Lottery Scholarship as an undergrad and for the support from the State of New Mexico for medical school tuition for the 2026-2027 academic year.

Her advice to other students is to find mentorship early! It took a village of support and amazing mentors for Callie to get where she is today. Student organizations were key to getting involved on campus & accessing leadership opportunities that shaped her. She stays motivated through the encouragement of her family & fiancé along with keeping in mind that she wants to be the best doctor for her future patients. We’re excited to see this Lobo thriving at and working to make a healthier New Mexico!
