Kiricka and her team have provided tremendous value to our work! The projects they have partnered with us on would not have been possible without the consulting and expertise provided. We hope to continue our partnership with KYS Consulting for many years to come!

Kiricka and I had never worked together before, and we were both hired to consult on an educational project. She was such an excellent collaborator! She was organized, thoughtful, and forward-thinking. I hope we get to work together on projects in the future!

Where do I begin. Kiricka and KYS Consulting Group has been nothing less than a blessing to work with. We are truly thankful for her knowledge and guidance over the past years. You can tell she is very passionate about helping people and businesses succeed. We went from an organization looking to throw in towel, to an organization with a vision and purpose because she helped us believe again. Thank you Kiricka and KYS Consulting Group!

Kiricka is a prolific powerhouse in every possible way. She leads a remarkable team of professionals who empower and equip the world changers of this generation. This is not just a business to her. She truly cares about her constituents and does everything in her power to help them succeed in producing the best possible services within their niche.
She has been a tireless advocate and champion of ours for many years. A wealth of knowledge and connections, she has guided us as we endeavored to open a shelter for sex-trafficked survivors. Her grant writing, organizational, leadership, experience, and communication skills are second to none. I would not want to travel this path without her counsel.

Kiricka's knowledge of the anti-human trafficking movement and possible funding sources is extensive. But the quality that makes her a valuable addition to our team is that she truly cares; she is invested in our work. I'm grateful for her expertise as a consultant, but I'm more grateful for her passion for our work. Her character and integrity is the foundation of all that she does. I'm honored that she is not only our consultant, but my friend.

Kiricka is exceptional at the work she does in the anti-trafficking field. I first worked with her through a fellowship, where we were tasked with developing recommendations to improve the federal government's grant processes. She was extremely thoughtful, and spend countless hours getting the final report's language and formatting perfect for submission.
It's not every day you see someone excel in group projects as much as independent ones, but she is such a skilled professional, she can truly do it all. Her interpersonal skills are outshined only by her strategic thinking, community advocating, and equity centered approach to her work. She is a connector, and is deeply in the know about the happenings in the anti-trafficking field. To work with her is to learn, build, and see your own work improve.

Her ability to connect, inspire, and elevate those around her cannot be understated. Her partnership has opened doors I never would have imagined, offering insights and opportunities that have shaped the trajectory of my career.
What sets Kiricka apart is not only her depth of experience but also her genuine commitment to the success and growth of others. She exemplifies leadership and altruism, consistently going above and beyond to foster development and empower individuals.
In every interaction, she brings an invaluable blend of wisdom and practical advice, making her an indispensable figure not just in my journey, but in the journeys of many others who have had the privilege to learn from her. Kiricka's influence has been a cornerstone in shaping a future defined by both competence and compassion, making her an inspirational force in the lives of countless people.

I’ve been so lucky to have Kiricka as a supervisor both at NC DOA and now as a consultant with KYS Consulting Group. With both her team and her clients, she draws upon people’s strengths, empowers their growth, and collaboratively helps them move toward and achieve their goals. She is an expert across multiple subjects and has a nuanced and intersectional understanding of complex issues. She is able to apply her vast knowledge and experience to create and deliver important trainings, build collaborations, establish programs, create change, and provide invaluable consultation to a wide variety of clients. I’m so grateful to have her in my life and to be doing this work with her!

She has touched countless lives, in the relentless pursuit of justice to transform communities and spark crucial conversations. Kiricka reminds us all that a safer, more just world is possible through dedication, love, and tireless advocacy. Thank you for all that you do!

Kiricka has been a lead faculty member and consultant for the Building Collaborative Responses to Trafficked Victims of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault project, organized by Futures Without Violence, since 2010. During this time, she has contributed to the revision of training curricula and served as both a faculty member and interactive facilitator in numerous training sessions and webinars.
Kiricka possesses extensive experience and knowledge on multi-disciplinary collaboration, cultural sensitivity, and trauma-informed strategies to support survivors of human trafficking with diverse experiences. I am grateful for her contributions to our project, all that I have learned from her expertise, and the impact she is making to the movement and survivor-centered services. We often recommend her to other organizations across the country.
