About Zara Palmer &

Zarpal Media

Hey, reader, my name is Zara Palmer. I was born and raised in a small town called Clark Fork in the Northern Panhandle of Idaho. With a population of 530 people, you quickly learn the pros and cons of being raised in such a tight-knit community. Clark Fork could very well be the inspiration behind Journey’s “Small Town Girl,” - but all jokes aside, I am proud to have come from the great wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. Nature has always been a constant source of teaching for me, especially when showing me the importance of imagination and staying curious about the wild world.

In 2015, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in business administration and marketing from Lewis-Clark State College in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Soon after obtaining my degree, I was on a plane heading to Costa Rica to fulfill a lifelong dream to save the toucan and volunteer at a wildlife rescue center in Costa Rica called Toucan Rescue Ranch. Little did I know, this began my love affair with international travel and wildlife conservation. All of which led me to develop a deep understanding of the impact of cause-marketing.

Fast-forward to today - I am based in Costa Rica, working as the marketing expert for grassroots non-profits and startups. I am motivated and inspired to utilize my knowledge, extensive network, and experience to help other small businesses, conservation projects, and entrepreneurs with their marketing efforts.

Thus, Zarpal Media was born!

Without Zara, I can confidently say that I wouldn’t have been able to create a platform that truly meets all my needs as smoothly and efficiently as she did. She built the website of my dreams, transforming my vision into reality with her unparalleled creativity and expertise. From the very start, Zara took the time to understand my goals, and her ability to bring my ideas to life in such a functional and visually appealing way exceeded all my expectations. Before working with Zara, I struggled to convert my social media followers into clients. Now, thanks to the website she crafted, I’ve been able to seamlessly transition my 20,000+ followers to a professional, user-friendly domain that offers them access to all my services in one place. This platform has not only helped me launch my business but also improved my ability to connect with and serve my audience. Zara’s work has truly been the cornerstone of my financial success as a creator, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her services.
