As a foodie and dog lover this is a dream job. I was really drawn to this position because of the breadth of Rachael’s portfolio — from media properties to books, nonprofit initiatives focused on childhood nutrition and animal rescue, successful TV shows and more — and the incredible community she and her team have cultivated over the years.
