From School Principal to Best of the City Winner

The ballots are officially in, and Tampa has spoken loud and clear: Sabrina Ruiz-better known to her loyal followers as @Sabree_45-has just been crowned the Local Influencer of the Year in the Tampa Magazine 2026 Best of the City awards.

Long before she was lighting up timelines and orchestrating the city's most coveted meetups under the handle @tampasocialbutterfly, Sabrina spent over two decades as a powerhouse in the education sector. From her roots as a dedicated teacher and literacy coach to her impactful tenures as an Assistant Principal and Principal, she has always been in the business of lifting people up and guiding them toward their highest potential. Today, she continues that vital, community-centered work as a Senior Director for a prominent local nonprofit, helping secure childcare tuition assistance for more than 20,000 children annually. But her boundless passion for fostering genuine connection simply couldn't be contained within the traditional nine-to- five.

Niche Down For What?

Recognizing that the modern networking scene often felt stiff, overwhelming, and deeply intimidating for young professionals, Sabrina decided to flip the script. She founded the Tampa Social Butterfly networking group on the Clockout App, entirely reimagining how local business owners, creators, and entrepreneurs connect. Gone are the days of awkwardly passing out business cards in a massive, sterile conference room. Instead, Sabrina curates intimate, small- group meetups scattered across Tampa's best local venues. These gatherings are built entirely around great food, crafted drinks, and a beautifully relaxed, pressure-free atmosphere where people can actually be themselves. As Sabrina perfectly frames it, it is a welcoming space for introverts and eager go-getters alike to step out of their cocoons and finally spread their wings.

Beyond these transformative networking events, Tampa Social Butterfly has evolved into a premier community hub that helps local brands flourish through authentic relationships and unforgettable, in-person experiences. Sabrina and her team even offer bespoke content creation services for local gatherings and special events. By capturing high-quality, social- media-ready clips throughout an event, they allow hosts to put their phones down, mingle freely, and stay entirely present on their special day.

By seamlessly blending her lifelong dedication to public service with her brilliant knack for social curation, Sabrina has created something truly magical in our city. She isn't just an influencer chasing trends; she is a dedicated community architect building a warmer, more connected Tampa, one unforgettable meetup at a time. Congratulations to a remarkably well- deserved 2026 Best of the City winner!
