Jacqueline Dole
Journalist | Public Relations & Digital Communications Professional
I began my professional career in the kitchen after training at The Cambridge School of Culinary Arts. I worked as a pastry chef, but I was always most interested in the stories behind the food: how and why chefs craft their signature dishes, and what makes them special. In 2012, I started writing about food and travel for Eater Boston and Thrillist.
In 2016, I founded The Parlor Ice Cream Co., a regional ice cream brand. For more than ten years, I ran our PR, social media, and photography myself. Building a brand showed me how much a business depends on good storytelling. So, I went back to school and earned my B.A. in Communications. I’m now pursuing an M.A. in Communications, concentrating in public relations.
My work has appeared in Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Food & Wine, The Infatuation, Eater, The Washington Post, and more. I cover food, travel, and hospitality, focusing on Walt Disney World. I love telling the stories that make The Walt Disney Company special and writing guides that help visitors plan their best vacation, whether it’s their first or fiftieth trip.
