Favorite travel memory:

When I came to the USA for the first time. We went to Walt Disney World and I was mesmerized. It was a real WOW moment!

Etel attended Jacksonville University on an academic and sports scholarship and Florida State College at Jacksonville. Etel was born in Trujillo, Honduras and was raised in St. Lucia.  At Holbrook, Etel is responsible for quality control and incident management.
