My name is Alessandra, or Allie, Tatoy, a first-generation Filipino-American writer and student from San Jose, Antique, Philippines and raised in Suwanee, Georgia. I am currently working towards a Bachelors in Science of Nursing from Georgia State University with the hopes of becoming a pediatric hematology/oncology nurse. I am passionate about the importance of lifelong learning and the power of radical compassion. When I'm not studying, you can find me working as a nurse extern on the oncology unit at Northside Hospital, spending time with my family and friends, taking the chance to learn outside of my university as often as I am able and continue to add to my reading list.
