Alannah-Aveline Santa Maria is currently a senior at Oakland University, finishing up her time in the School of Nursing. After graduating, she plans to gain experience in either the ER or Labor & Delivery before going back to school to get an MSN degree for forensic nursing. Her family immigrated from the Philippines, so she understands Tagalog and can even speak some (although she’s still shy about actually doing it). Alannah also loves the visual arts, she's been creating for her whole life—students may have seen some of her doodles on the studio’s whiteboards and walls!
