Hi, I’m Sarah, Founder of Finfluence Media
I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.
I’m based in Florida, and my love for the ocean started early, ever since watching Free W***y, I felt a connection to marine life that never really faded.
I first earned a degree in Tourism Destination Marketing, but the pull toward the water kept getting stronger. I went back to school for my B.S. in Marine Biology and Sustainable Aquaculture, but that wasn’t enough for me, i went back and just completed my MPS in Wildlife Conservation and Advocacy at .
So why did I start Finfluence?
Throughout my studies, observance and research, I kept seeing the same problem: Sharks and many other species were being portrayed through fear instead of facts and education. The more I learned, the more I realized how misunderstood they were, and how much impact clear, compassionate communication could have on shifting public perception.
That’s where the name Finfluence comes from:
the influence of better communication, rooted in science, empathy, and storytelling with a little shark twist of course.
Finding a role that blended conservation, education, and communication wasn’t easy… so I created one.
Through Finfluence Media, I will help organizations:
🦈 help start your online presence
🪸 share accurate, accessible environmental messaging
🪼 translate science into everyday language
🦥 build communication systems that support long‑term impact
🦒 tell stories that inspire understanding instead of fear
I’m still getting everything finalized behind the scenes, but I’m grateful for the support already.
Here’s to what’s ahead and to helping people understand the planet we all share.
P.S… If you are interested, please let me know and we can start setting things up! Also please feel free to share with anyone who may be interested! My goal is to help lift up all the amazing organizations out there!
