Name: Abbey Otero
Position: Hospitality Coordinator
Hi everyone! My name is Abrielle Otero, but you can call me Abbey for short. I am a sophomore majoring in Human Factors Psychology. I grew up in Fort Lauderdale, FL which is about four hours south of Daytona and an hour north of Miami.
I joined Touch-N-Go Productions the first semester of my sophomore year and absolutely loved it. Although it has only been 2 semesters, the whole crew already feels like family to me. In the future I would either like to work for a government contractor designing the interior of airplanes, or even possibly join the military and see where that path takes me.

Name: Brandon Liden
Position: Productions Manager
My name is Brandon Liden, and I am a senior at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University studying Air Traffic Management. I originate and reside in the northern suburbs of Chicago. I was very involved with the lighting crew and set construction at my high school and couldn’t give up the challenge of putting shows on.
Currently, I am the productions manager which pretty much means I am responsible for making the show go on, so we all can say the show must go on during a Florida rainstorm. I want to be a FAA Controller and during sometime in my career get the chance to work at Chicago O’hare International Airport.
