This week was filled with meaningful conversations and impactful connections. From exploring innovation at MagLab to supporting firefighters, diving into tax policy with CPAs, and discussing the future of higher education with Miami Dade College, it has been a rewarding few days. We also championed small businesses with the Coral Gables Chamber, collaborated with the Florida American Institute of Architects on infrastructure and design, and witnessed justice in action at the Florida Supreme Court. Grateful for the opportunity to engage and help shape a stronger future for Florida while representing our district, HD 115. #Leadership #Innovation #SmallBusiness #Education #Infrastructure #PublicService #HD115

I had the privilege of touring the Florida Supreme Court @flcourts and hearing from Chief Justice Carlos Muñiz. A big thank you to Chair @tracilkoster for organizing such an insightful visit. I also had the unique opportunity to sit in the chair of our very own Justice John Couriel from Miami-Dade. The Court has an incredible law library open to the public Monday through Friday, featuring a fascinating collection of archived books, including a Spanish legal book from 1597 and testimony from the Nazi War Crimes Trials in 1947. Grateful to the amazing staff for their hospitality and dedication to our state’s judicial branch!

Visiting the Deering Estate was an incredible experience, blending history, science, and conservation. From the stunning bay views to the rich stories behind the Stone House and Richmond Cottage, the estate offers a fascinating glimpse into South Florida’s past while actively working to preserve its future. The estate also offers outstanding educational programs that provide students with hands-on experience in environmental science and conservation, helping future generations understand and protect Florida’s ecosystems. Grateful to our fantastic tour guides—Peter England, Karen Solms, and Madison Ibarra-Janney—for bringing history and science to life. If you’re looking for a place to explore and learn, the Deering Estate is a must-visit! #DeeringEstate #ScienceEducation #HistoricPreservation #FloridaHeritage

We continue bringing a little taste of Miami to the Florida Capitol! Grateful for the opportunity to share cafecito with the dedicated team in the House Clerk’s Office—just a small way to say thank you for their hard work and service every day. #305Flavor #CapitolCafecito #WhosNext?

Our District Aide had an incredible time celebrating a major milestone for FIU CasaCuba alongside Representative Omar Blanco’s father and step-mother at this special event! It was an honor to mark this occasion on the birthday of José Martí—a cherished Cuban poet, patriot, and advocate for freedom. CasaCuba, housed in the state-of-the-art Benjamín León Jr. Building at FIU, will be a 43,000-square-foot cultural and academic center dedicated to preserving Cuban heritage and exploring the Cuban diaspora’s influence. From visionary founders and innovative architects to inspiring programs that will shape our community, this event truly celebrated the past, present, and future of Cuban culture. Welcome home. Bienvenidos a CasaCuba. #FIUCasaCuba #CubanHeritage #CommunityCelebration #CasaCubaMilestone

Sharing a taste of the #305 with our incredible staff at the Florida Capitol! It was a pleasure making cafecito for the Sergeant at Arms and thanking them for the incredible service they provide every day.

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we join together to honor the memory of the six million Jews and countless others who were victims of the Holocaust—a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of unchecked evil and hatred. We must remain committed to upholding the principles of freedom, faith, and human dignity. Let this day inspire us to continue fighting against all forms of hatred, ensuring that such atrocities are never repeated. May we never forget the lessons of history and remain steadfast in protecting the values that make our nation strong. #HolocaustRemembrance
