Ruthie's prior experience has shifted over the years from iconic fashion brands like Chanel and The Row to major editorial roles at ELLE.com and InStyle.com. She started her career as the assistant to media entrepreneur Dan Abrams. But along her journey, Ruthie came face to face with her demons, ultimately hitting rock bottom and then coming out the other side.
