At heart, Debbie is a builder—of businesses, of connections, and of opportunities where others see challenges. She’s always had a knack for turning ideas into something bigger, whether in her corporate career leading sales and marketing teams or in the unexpected journey that led to Cookie Mill®.

Baking wasn’t always the plan. It started as a creative outlet, a way to spend time with her daughter. But Debbie’s entrepreneurial spirit quickly took over, and what began as a simple class became the foundation for a business that would reshape how companies approach corporate gifting.

In 2019, she took the leap—leaving the security of a corporate job, selling her house, and investing everything into an idea she believed in. Five years and over 118,000 cookies later, Cookie Mill® has grown into a trusted partner for businesses looking to create unforgettable experiences, maximize engagement, and turn every event into a strategic marketing win."

But Debbie’s story isn’t just about cookies. It’s about adaptability, purpose, and family. When her mother needed support, Debbie didn’t hesitate to pack up her life and relocate—bringing Cookie Mill® with her. She transformed a Phoenix property into a full-scale production space, proving that personal and professional growth can go hand in hand.

A lifelong problem-solver, Debbie thrives at the intersection of strategy and creativity. She sees beyond the surface—whether it’s a brand’s marketing challenge or the quiet needs of someone she loves. That same philosophy fuels everything she does, from designing high-impact corporate treats to navigating the ever-changing path of entrepreneurship.

Above all, she believes in quality, connection, and leaving things better than she found them.
