She comes to WWNO from KUNC in Northern Colorado, where she worked as a radio producer for the daily news magazine, Colorado Edition.

Alana first became interested in radio journalism as an undergraduate art student, where she spent hours listening to NPR while painting in the studio. After graduating from Macalester College with a major in International Studies and minors in Studio Art and Media Studies, she moved to Malaysia on a Fulbright grant, but was soon evacuated due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

She spent time in Birmingham, Alabama interviewing former Negro League Baseball players and working with host and comedian Roy Wood Jr.
Alana grew up in Montclair, New Jersey, just outside of New York City. When not in the studio she can be found playing ultimate Frisbee, knitting hats, making homemade sauce, and cheering for her beloved New York Mets.
