Alana Brophy joined the KBOI 2News in August of 2009 as a reporter and weekend weather forecaster and is now a morning anchor.

Alana loves to talk! Whether it's asking questions, telling a story or just chatting about the weather, Alana definitely has something to say. Her passion for journalism flourished during her time at Gonzaga University, where she earned her bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism and the "Best Anchor" award her senior year.

Alana comes to the Gem State after two years of anchoring, reporting and forecasting in St. George, Utah. While in the desert, Alana covered stories from the local polygamist reaction to the El Dorado raid to the opening of the Donnie and Marie Osmond Show in Las Vegas.

She also headed up the crime series, "The Tri-State Crime Stoppers," which helped apprehend numerous fugitives within the community, and earned her a Community Partnership Award from the Washington City Police.

Alana's family is originally from Staten Island, New York. They now live in Bountiful, Utah. She has an awesome older brother who can always be counted on to bring home the gold from Special Olympics, and a fabulous and supportive older sister.

In her free time, Alana enjoys spending time with her nephew, Evan, swimming, shopping, reading and dancing.

She is very excited to be Boise and proud to be part of the KBOI 2News team.
