I’m driven by a deep passion for creating spaces where embracing differences and inclusion become second nature. This commitment was solidified when a friend shared a key aspect of her personality with her coach, only to have it dismissed. She felt overlooked, misunderstood, and unheard—an all-too-common experience.  This reinforced my resolve to help organizations, communities, and individuals create spaces where courageous conversations flourish, every voice is heard, and differences are celebrated. 

As the Founder of KJA Gaiety Solutions, I lead with the purpose of empowering growth through inclusive leadership. 

Our mission: To transform organizations by equipping leaders with inclusive practices that unlock potential in every individual. 

Our Vision: A future where every voice is valued, differences are celebrated, and innovation flourishes through inclusivity.

With over 20 years of experience across various industries and roles, my expertise in People Development, Learning and Development, Talent Acquisition, Human Resources, Customer Service, and Operations Management informs my unique approach to coaching and program development. 

My clients include emerging adults, coaches, business owners, and corporate executives from Europe, North America, and Asia.

In partnership with Thrive Neurodiversity & Mental Health, I offer comprehensive, CPD-accredited programs that empower organizations to embrace neurodiversity in the workplace.  As their first Instructor Partner, I lead Neurodiversity Awareness Programs for the APAC region, championing the creation of environments where everyone can thrive. 

As a Systemic Team Coach, I use my certification in Team Development Essentials to help teams unlock new levels of performance by fostering collaboration, trust, and inclusivity. My systemic approach ensures that team dynamics align with organizational goals, driving sustainable success.

Currently, I serve as a Global DEIB Volunteer Facilitator at the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and as the pioneering Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) for the ICF Philippines Charter Chapter.
