About our amazing guest, Kayla Quijas
After five years as a cake decorator and feeling stuck in a dead-end job, Kayla Quijas made a bold move: she quit after being asked to return to work after a grueling 12-hour shift.
Determined to break into the corporate world, she started as a receptionist at a law firm and rapidly climbed the corporate ladder. Now, Kayla is a senior project manager at a global law firm, overseeing one of its largest accounts.
Realizing the invaluable role her coaches played in her journey to success, she found her true purpose: inspiring others to escape dead-end jobs and pursue fulfilling careers. Now, as a certified Senior Career Coach, Kayla empowers individuals to make intentional career transitions.
