For the next decade, she worked as an Event Manager, Staffing Manager, Kitchen Manager and Operations Manager for some of the largest off-premise catering companies in San Diego. She's worked closely with many of San Diego's DMCs and received her certificate in Professional Meeting Planning at California State University Fullerton in 1999.

Debra is committed to providing excellent service that's way beyond the ordinary. This is why she started her own catering and event planning company; she desires to go above and beyond our service standards to deliver outstanding results.
