What do you like best about your job as the Design and Sales Consultant?

"I am presently working with two home builders here in Ottawa as the project manager. I meet with their clients, help them make their selections and order the kitchen for their new home. My job also requires regular visits to sites where jobs are being installed to assist the installer with any questions that arise. Having a combination of retail and contractor business allows for a great mix. I've been working here for Kitchen Craft Cabinetry for over a year now and really love it." Becky Fischer
