More About Alana
When I'm not working with clients, you'll find me cheering from the sidelines at my kids' sports games and running between practices. To unwind, I take my dogs for walks in the forest and spend summer weekends camping. These quiet moments in nature help me recharge, and they remind me how important it is to find those peaceful spots in our busy lives.
