Alaina lives in Hattiesburg with her husband James, and son, Samuel. Alaina is originally from Prattville, Alabama. She received her undergraduate degree in Psychology and English from Troy University. After graduating, Alaina lived overseas in Arua, Uganda, working with the International Mission Board. Her team worked in humanitarian aid efforts for Sudanese refugee women. It was through this experience that God not only opened Alaina’s eyes to the complex, challenging problems facing women and children but also revealed to her His love and care for the vulnerable.
Upon returning stateside, Alaina married and moved to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where she worked in various educational settings. God continued to press awareness into Alaina's heart for the wholistic support families need.
At the perfect time, God met the desire of Alaina’s heart through an opportunity to join the ministry of Hope Clinic. While Alaina learned at a young age how valuable and precious each new life is, it was through her personal and work experiences that God deepened her compassion for the women and families who are often facing incredibly difficult circumstances.
