Paul Abrego
Technical Coordinator / Trainer
BIO:
Paul Abrego has been involved in access television production since 1998 and has been at BATV since 2002. He attended both the University of Hawaii at Manoa where he double-majored in surfing and hiking and Emerson College where he enjoyed mussing the perfect hair of broadcast journalism students whilst studying in the film and audio departments. A former FCC licensed radio disc jockey, Paul is a certified audiophile as well as a film junky, although he has stopped collecting DVD's as he now believes they are a waste of money as they will inevitably be obsolete. However, he continues to purchase compact music discs and supporting local record stores. This irony is not lost on him. He is happiest making his young daughter laugh at his imitations- especially those of Mr. T and of his co-workers. Other things he enjoys are (in no particular order): rainbows, sunsets, long walks on the beach, puppies, kittens and gore movies.

Nancy Albertson
Youth Coordinator
BIO:
Nancy has worked in the television/video field since 2002. Her interest in video production began at Shawsheen Valley Technical High School, where she was granted the opportunity to study in the school's audio/visual department.

She has also freelanced as a videographer/editor and was an assistant camera operator on Life of Lemon: a feature film shot in and around Los Angeles.
Nancy is happily married and a proud owner of a very fluffy, four-legged feline named Marilyn. She loves just about any form of comedy (television/film/stand-up/improv) and truly believes laughter is the best medicine. Nancy also enjoys candlepin bowling, hula hooping, watching cheesy horror films, collecting spoons, laughing and making other people laugh.
