CEO

Debbie has been in catering since 1997, owning Blue Heron Catering since 2005. She is committed to bringing people together through food.  Debbie values the relationships she has with her own team, her customers, and her industry partners. Her mission and responsibility as a green certified business (since 2007) is to practice and teach sustainability while providing honest, soulful food from our local food shed.  Debbie believes in the power of community; which has brought many awards and accolades to Blue Heron over the years, including The Best of Oakland Magazine Award in 2025. 

Her favorite quote is from Ruth Reichl –

“Pull up a chair, take a taste, join us.  Life is so endlessly delicious”.
