A food industry veteran for more than a decade, Rebecca got her start managing a deli at age 14. Her young ambition led to professional culinary milestones like training under James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Tusk, working the line at top restaurants Quince and EPIC Roasthouse, and establishing herself as a renowned private chef in the Bay Area. Rebecca earned a degree in Hospitality Management from San Francisco State University, and in 2010 grew her one-woman, home delivery service into a full-scale catering and events company of more than 25 professionals. Rebecca Jean Catering has quickly grown into a buzzworthy business known for its restaurant-quality menus and elegant event production. Rebecca was named San Francisco’s Woman Entrepreneur of the Year by the Women’s Initiative for Self-Employment in 2011.
Leigh’s passion for food crystallized while she studied politics at University of California, Berkeley, when she quickly found herself spending more and more time in kitchens of local restaurants during a summer internship in Washington, DC. Leigh immediately shifted her studies upon return to California, graduating with an interdisciplinary degree in Food Politics and then from the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Her first job out of the CIA was as a line cook at Foreign Cinema, where she honed her technical precision and learned to maintain quality at high volume. Leigh then moved to Quince, a Michelin starred French-Italian restaurant run by James Beard Award winning chef, Michael Tusk. These experiences help her to organize the kitchen at Rebecca Jean Catering, where her stoic presence provides a sense of balance to an often hectic atmosphere. Her hours of recipe research online and in cookbooks brings an unmatchable range of culinary ideas to our daily menus and strengthen’s Leigh’s already superb ability to apply a Northern California twist to the most niched ingredients and authentic recipes from around the world.
Marina’s culinary calling came in the form of a high school fascination with the Food Network. An immediate yearning to cook eventually morphed into studying nutrition at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. After graduating with a concentration in culinary science and management, Marina began working for San Francisco Unified School District’s Nutrition Services, where she helped tend to the nutritional needs of the city’s youth. Marina easily transitioned to Rebecca Jean Catering, where her academic background allowed her to quickly learn the ins and outs of event services, propelling her into her role in Event Sales & Client Relations. Marina looks forward to speaking with you about your next event!
Craftsmanship has been the overarching theme of Isabel’s 14 years of experience in the food industry. From neighborhood coffee shop nerd to midnight owl bread baker, Isabel found herself at home working with her hands and went on to become a pastry assistant at Alice Water’s Café Fanny. While at Café Fanny, a Berkeley institution now closed after 28 years in business, Isabel developed her skills in the open kitchen while baking in their commissary. Isabel’s love of food and feeding people runs deep. A Bay Area native, Isabel’s innate intelligence and commitment to promoting local ingredients and amazing customer service makes her a natural fit as Front-of-House Operations Manager at Rebecca Jean Catering.
