Why a caterer? Is my only question.

But yeh. It sounds good!

"Caterer" is her official job title. She, like so many others actually does a variety of things, a lot of which are jobs that do not officially exist. She's actually a mercenary for hire, specializing in search and rescue and private security, all of which is under the table. Most of those in private security in the world of Vitanium Wars do more than just normal security work, a lot of which could be regarded as gray market or black market work.

And i assume catering gives her the ability to have public exposure in a variety of settings without gaining the attention of "enemies"?

Oh yes.
Emil keeps her safe when it comes to unwanted documentation, and the rest of her team helps her out in a variety of ways.

All the professional mercenaries out there know each other or of each other, and with death being less permanent, killing is not the easiest option anymore. And in fact can serve as a missed opportunity because there are organizations that pay out ransoms, and with the right insurance, it is guaranteed that the right email or phone call can insure the right transfer of funds to certain secret offshore accounts that technically do not exist. Of course there's always the chance that the dead rival could come back as something much worse and more powerful than any mere mortal out there...
