Sarah Brown

Development Associate

Sarah hails from Pittsburgh, PA, where her fascination with aquatic life began in her grandparents’ backyard, caring for their koi pond. She pursued this passion at the College of Charleston, earning a B.S. in Marine Biology and developing a keen interest in coral reefs. After graduating, Sarah deepened her commitment to marine conservation through a 7-month divemaster and conservation internship in Fiji. Upon returning to the States, she joined the Coral Restoration Foundation™ internship program for a year. Demonstrating significant dedication and skill, Sarah has since advanced to become a Development Associate, where she continues to merge her scientific knowledge with her passion for environmental advocacy.
