> [Viking] was competitively selected as the vendor consultant among seven bidders and we couldn’t be happier with the choice to work with them. The clarity, skill, and composure they bring to the work is truly next level. With their expert guidance, I am confident that we’ll end up with a plan that enables the WDN to effectively advance our mission to champion equitable job access and economic mobility for all.

> Maria led our effort to do all the research, coordination, facilitation and writing of the ROBUST grant. Our group LOVED Maria. She was no nonsense, focused, and really herded cats. Without question, she is someone I would recommend for your toughest group projects when strong leadership is needed.
