A native of Brooklyn New York, Alba has worked extensively in theatre and film in all aspects of the business.

She made her West Coast debut when she was cast in Scott Kalvert’s film Deuces Wild (2002).  She stayed on in Los Angeles to train in Shakespeare with Ellen Geer at The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum.

Returning to New York shorly after, Alba completed a two-year professional acting program with William Esper. She followed this up with Alec Baldwin’s Master Class in Theater, and finished her training with another two-year acting program, this time with Maggie Flanigan.

Alba also has extensive stunt work; most recently, Joss Whedon’s The Avengers (2012) Tony Scott’s The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009), Michael Cuesta’s Tell Tale (2009), Jon Avnet’s Righteous Kill (2008), Anne Fletcher’s Step Up (2006), & NBC’s “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” (2001).

Inspired to produce character driven stories, Alba wrote and directed Posttags (2006); a story of a soldier with post-traumatic stress disorder struggling to retain his sanity and survive in New York City.  She has also completed the first installment of a series of documentary films called Global Roach (where the roach is the filmmaker / photo journalist turning the camera towards their own society).  Taking Alba all the way to Brazil, that installment is entitled Urban Survivors: Rio.  Next, Alba will be producing, and appearing in a webseries she also created, Paper Slippers, about an all-female experimental institution.
