My name is Alaina Ellegood. I’m 25 years old and married to my wonderful husband, Tyrus Gawith. We have two fur babies who we love spending time with. We enjoy adventuring together and being involved in our community.

I’m a Wilmington, NC local who attended New Hanover High School and began pursuing a degree in Music Education at Cape Fear Community College. I’ve always had a creative side—whether it was singing in a college-level choir while still in high school or starting a small business on my own. Creativity has always been a big part of who I am.

One of my favorite ways to express that creativity is through social media. I love creating eye-catching content and working with small businesses in the community. I’m passionate about spreading positivity and showing kindness in everything I do
