Brittany Cohill said her life hasn’t always followed a straight line — and her personal mantra of “Say ‘yes’ to all good things” is likely part of the reason. She said that it’s rarely steered her wrong. Born in Savannah, she moved with her family to Lake Asbury near Orange Park at the age of four and considers herself a Floridian. She attended Clay County schools and graduated from Clay High School before going on to the University of North Florida. After an extended graduation timeline (again, not a straight line) due to marriage and family, she secured an internship and then a job with Beaches Museum in Jacksonville Beach. She also began teaching classes at Jacksonville University while raising her family. When her mother-in-law was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2020, Brittany stepped back from her duties at Beaches Museum to care for her, but knew she wanted to eventually get back to the museum field. The right opportunity came along a couple of years later and now she is the new director of the Mandarin Museum, located minutes from her home in Mandarin. She and husband David, a police officer in Jacksonville Beach, have three children: Caleb, who is a student at the University of South Florida; Kate, who graduates this year and will attend Loyola University in Maryland next fall; and Brendan, a rising fifth grader at The Bolles School. They are parishioners at San Jose Catholic Church.
