"Villa helped me grow into a leader. I found myself taking charge of group projects and stepping out of my comfort zone, which has carried over tremendously to my current career as an Assistant Vice President at M&T Bank. I love the constant challenges that I face in my every day duties, as well as working with the most incredible team I have ever had to pleasure to be apart of. My advice to future Vikings is to remember that progress isn’t always linear, and every little thing you do to further achieve your goals is a step in the right direction." ⁠
