Previously, she worked as a news reporter, videographer, and anchor in South Bend, Indiana, and Watertown, New York, where her work earned numerous local and national awards. Alana studied political science and dove into journalism at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. Alana and her family volunteer with Kitchen Angels, delivering food to homebound community members. She and her husband strive to raise their two young daughters to have the same courage and confidence as the young leaders of TW, to use their voices for good, and to always fight for justice.
