Prior to the transition of the new administration, Trinajae was transferred the Public Safety division, under the office of Lt. Gov. Ray Tenorio.

Because of her grant write-ups, the Guam Police Department, the Neighborhood Watch Program, the Department of Corrections (Corrections Masterplan and Redevelopment Plan) and the Guam Fire Department (boat ramp construction) were recipients of grant funding. She now serves at the pleasure of Senator James “Jim” C. Moylan as his office manager and continues to dedicate her time to public service. In her current capacity, Trinajae assists in coordinating events, policy strategy, and acts as a liaison between local leadership and constituents. She continues to be an active member of the GOP, Republican Party of Guam, her village Neighborhood Watch Program and continues to offer her experience in grant writing with any government entities needing assistance. In her free time, Trinajae enjoys spending her weekends off at the beach with her two children, friends and families. She also enjoys grilling, playing football and baseball.
