Summary
As a kitchen sales specialist for the past 11 years, my expertise and success speak for themselves with generating millions of dollars in revenue. What's more, is I am very driven and passionate about what it is that I do. I enjoy working directly with people to create kitchens for them as they are affectionately known as "The heart of the home." I am proud to create designs that are functional, striking, and award winning. My extensive knowledge of kitchens and confidence in cabinetry allow me to be very good at what I do. And my ambition for excellence is what keeps me going.
