Alba was born in Italy, raised in NYC and calls İstanbul home. She has had a rollicking internet work life writing, editing, and producing for companies such as iVillage and AOL and startups like Virtual Communites and others you have never heard of that went crash, boom! Now she balances her time writing, looking for freelancing opportunities and appearing in Academy-Award-winning films. (I was an extra in Skyfall and you can see me onscreen for a full 1/10th of second!)
