Shea Ellis

Director of Social Media

Shea was raised in a small town in rural New Hampshire, where winters meant skiing, summers meant bonfires, and everyone knew your business. She studied Sociology at Keene State College before deciding she’d had enough snow to last a lifetime and headed south to Wilmington, North Carolina.

Since landing on the coast, she’s built a life filled with creativity, community, and just the right amount of beach days. With a background in marketing and social media, Shea has a knack for turning ideas into stories that connect. Whether she’s crafting a campaign or building a brand voice, her goal is always the same: create something that resonates and leaves a mark.

When she’s not developing content or plotting strategy, Shea’s running Makai Events Co.—her creative side hustle that merges her love of planning with a flair for detail. Think laid-back vibes meets thoughtful design.

Off the clock, she’s likely outdoors, reading a good book, trying out a new recipe, or playing soccer in a local women’s league. She still misses the mountains and ski slopes of New Hampshire, but life in Wilmington suits her just fine—especially with her orange tabby sidekick, Auggie, keeping her on her toes.
