Why Jacksonville? With over 1,100 miles of navigable waterways, the largest urban park system in the nation, and diverse, thriving neighborhoods, Jacksonville offers an exceptional quality of life. From its beaches to the St. Johns River, the city blends coastal beauty with historic charm and continued growth. As an Atlantic Beach native, Romy is an avid surfer, hiker, and freediver, who values Northeast Florida’s unmatched access to the outdoors. Though she grew up traveling extensively as the daughter of an immigrant father from Zimbabwe and a mother who wrote for a travel magazine, Jacksonville will always be home. Today, she lives in Atlantic Beach with her husband, three children, and their slightly chunky rescue dog—deeply rooted in the community she proudly serves.
