Meet Ellen Bennet, RIFA’s Online Sales Manager! Ellen joined the staff in May 2020. Ellen runs the RIFA Auction Group and spends her days curating each and every auction before the items are posted online for the community to bid on. Her favorite part about working at RIFA is diving through all the fantastic contributions people have donated and the freedom she has to write whatever she wants before a large audience.
Learn more about Ellen!
- She collects salt and pepper shakers. The more unusual, bizarre, or original–the better.
- Her favorite foods are sushi from Sakura and Tulum's "Pazole"
- She once went to Albania for a mission trip and it was unlike anything she'd ever seen. She's always wanted to go to New York City and would love to go to Greece.
- Her favorite bible verse is Isaiah 41:10, "Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not anxiously look around you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
- Some of her favorite things to do in Jackson include the Farmers Market, concerts at the Amp, estate and yard sales, seeing plays at the Ned, the Vintage Makers Festival, the International Food Festival, and enjoying local restaurants like the Blacksmith.
