Alana Dillard is a native Detroiter that loves her city! She is currently employed as an Attendant Agent within the Detroit Public Schools Community District. She enjoys executing her role in making sure every child is in school every day. She handles specifics, details, organization, and the other varying intricacies of her job with ease and is making a noticeable impact in improving the attendance rate at her school.

​

Alana has been in education in some capacity for over 15 years. She has served as an educator, compliance officer, testing coordinator, dean, counselor, and clerical staff member. When the subject pertains to teaching, she actually has taught in some capacity at some point in time from kindergarten through and including grade 12. Working in education was not her childhood dream job but, it is her adult joy and purposeful vocation!  Although Alana came into education by happenstance she has loved it from the start.  Family members have stated, "She always trying to teach/tell somebody something!" And thus, to those who know Alana well, working in education makes perfect sense!

​

In, 2021, Alana decided to do more with her life and in turn founded 1Healthy You. She wanted to help, educate, and assist more people than her chosen vocation in education! She decided to begin a non-profit that would empower people to do better for themselves.  Alana's vision through 1Healthy You assists people in reducing their stress levels with the goal of preventing the underlying causes of heart disease by providing resources, information, and services to aid individuals in their daily lives.

​

 Alana is happily married with 3 adult children, a proud "Gigi" of 1 granddaughter and 1 grandson plus 5 bonus grandchildren. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Management, a Master of Business Administration/Public Administration, and a Master of Arts in Education/Adult Education and Training. As she puts it:  "through 1Healthy You, I share my knowledge, care, and good will with everyone I possibly can in the community." 1Healthy You volunteers often in the community, showing all people how they can be the healthiest individuals possible. Alana is Mrs. 1 Healthy You.
