Jill Svoboda
Event Specialist

Jill Svoboda joined Navarre Hospitality Group in July 2021, bringing her passion for people and planning to the role of Event Specialist. She began her journey with the team at St. Joe Farm and has since helped bring countless memorable events to life.

Before transitioning into the hospitality world, Jill earned her bachelor’s degree in education and spent time in the classroom as an elementary school teacher. She later served as Executive Director of a nonprofit organization for 13 years, honing her leadership, organizational, and community engagement skills.

Outside of work, Jill enjoys beach days, paddle boarding, hiking, bird watching, and traveling—especially when it means creating new memories with her husband, two children, and their energetic French Bulldog.

Her favorite mantra, “Bring the calm to the chaos and the sparkle to the plan,” reflects her approach to events: organized, thoughtful, and full of joy. One of her proudest professional highlights? Hosting country music legend Garth Brooks at St. Joe Farm—a true once-in-a-lifetime moment!
