Davey Alba
Alba moved to the US in 2010 from the Philippines. She comes from a family of high achievers. Her dad is in academia. Her mom is an economic consultant. Her sister is a vice president in an international investment bank. Her dad would read advanced, classic novels to her and her sister when she was eight years old. One of her favorites was The Hobbit, by J. R. R. Tolkien. She and her sister kept stopping their dad to ask what certain words meant. That’s when Alba’s fondness for literature began.
