2025 – present

Miami-Dade Commission Watch

Co-founder and executive director

Daniel Llobet and I spent 2025 decoding hundred-page Board of County Commissioners agendas by hand before any website existed. The site launched on August 1, 2026, and we incorporated in Florida on August 17, 2026; 501(c)(3) status pending. We publish plain-language summaries of every meeting, with each item linked back to its source document, in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole. The site has a commissioner directory by district, an elections page, a guide to speaking at public comment, and a district lookup tool I built so residents can find their commissioner by address. The editorial policy is nonpartisan: no endorsements, no spin, and every claim sourced from public records. Six student editorials ran in the first month. Submissions are open to any Miami-Dade student, and the student keeps the byline.
