Her Interview
Ten minutes with Kija
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my genuine passion for helping others and making a positive difference. My mother and grandmother also played a major role in shaping who I am, especially my grandmother, who always emphasized the importance of education and encouraged me to pursue college. Their guidance, combined with my desire to serve others, has helped me grow personally and professionally.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve received is to remain authentic, follow my heart and passions, and never stop learning. I’ve also learned from my own experiences to adapt in every environment but never to adapt to the environment! Also a healthy work/personal life balance will be necessary!
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would tell young women entering the industry to build a good support group! It won’t always be family or close friends but get people you can trust around you and make adjustments as necessary. You’d be surprised how much of your time and talents can become wasted hanging around the wrong people!
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest opportunity in my field is expanding access to holistic support for children, adults, and individuals from all walks of life. I’m focused on obtaining my counseling license to bridge the physical, mental, and emotional gaps that a holistic lifestyle supports, while educating people about natural wellness, healthy choices, and the connection between what we consume and our overall well-being. My goal is to provide practical education, resources, and ongoing support that empowers individuals to live healthier lives.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me are empathy, integrity, and a genuine commitment to supporting others. I’m most passionate about providing the guidance, resources, and support people need to grow, thrive, and reach their full potential whether its clients on my jobs or family members and the community at large.
