Alana Holland joined 13 ON YOUR SIDE in January, 2020. You can watch her weekdays on the desk at 5pm and covering health stories through her Healthy You segment.
She's a Michigander for most of her life, growing up in the small northern Michigan town of Gaylord. She's a graduate of Grand Valley State University, with double majors in Broadcasting and Journalism. Prior to joining the WZZM news team, she worked as an anchor and reporter for 6 years in the Flint/Tri City market for WNEM TV5.
In 2023, she was nominated for two regional EMMY awards for her reporting.
She loves Michigan, and calls it home. From wine tasting in Traverse City, hiking the Sleeping Bear Dunes, spending time in small cities in the Thumb, seeing a Tigers game in Detroit, and soaking up the sun along the Lake Michigan shoreline with a good book, she enjoys it all.
The way to her heart is a great cup of coffee or talking about all your house plants. If you follow her on social media, you will see many pictures of her pride and joy, her dachshund named Leo.
In 2022, she became a mom to an energetic little boy, named Archer.
