MEET THE TEAM! 🎶
Today we're super excited to introduce you all to another awesome member of the BDL team: ✨Dayna! ✨
Dayna is one of our incredible support workers, providing both 1:1 as well as group-based supports through both our Dungeons & Dragons and Board-game group!
🎯 How long have you been rocking with Beyond Daily Life?
I’ve been part of the Beyond Daily Life team for nine months now—and loving it! I’ve been working as a support worker since early 2023.
🎮 Tell us how your journey started and what brought you here!
I met some of the team through Muay Thai training, and they mentioned a D&D business! I suggested it to one of my participants, and we started attending sessions together—that’s where I met the rest of the team! Fast forward to December 2024, and I joined the team! Funny enough, 18 months ago I didn’t even know what D&D was… now I’m a Dungeon Master!
🎲 When you’re off the clock, what kind of fun do you get up to?
Truthfully, I love my job so much that I work as often as I can! I recently bought a property, so I’m always pottering around there. Otherwise I can be found outside in nature.
🌟 Whether it's baking, brawling (in Muay Thai, of course), or building fantasy worlds—what lights you up outside of work?
Travel! I always like to have a trip planned. I believe in saying yes to as many experiences as possible. I don’t have many fixed hobbies, but I’m constantly trying something new and different! I’m interested in everything.
🤯 Drop a fun fact that’ll make us do a double take! We’re talking quirky, hilarious, or downright unexpected. Surprise us!
Brace yourself… I’ve never seen a Star Wars movie. Apparently, that’s my most shocking trait!
💼 Behind the Scenes: What I Do at Beyond Daily Life
I’m a support worker focused on community access and social support—and I also double as one of our epic Dungeon Masters! I’m one half of the dynamic duo lovingly dubbed “D&D” (Dayna & Dylan).
🧭 What’s your superpower at Beyond Daily Life?
My fellow DMs and participants have dubbed me “the world’s nicest DM” because I love giving second chances and always lean into the ‘rule of cool’ to help players shine.
🌱 What impact do you hope to make with the people you support?
Laughter is the key—I bring a fun, light-hearted vibe to every shift. Through conversation, I also try to offer new perspectives and insights that support participants in reaching their goals or building new skills.
🌟 Dream big—what change do you want to see in the lives of the participants you work with?
I want to help people develop their independence—whether it’s learning new daily living skills or finding small ways to support their wellbeing. Watching participants build confidence, friendships, and thrive socially is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.
❤️ What’s the best part of your job?
I have the best job in the world. Every day is different, and I get to care, support, and connect with incredible people—plus, I get to play Dungeons & Dragons!
💡 What keeps you inspired, energized, and coming back every day?
The participants! It might sound cliché, but checking my schedule and seeing who I get to hang out with genuinely excites me. Whether we’re working on goals or just sharing a great moment, knowing I’ve helped brighten someone’s day makes mine better too.
Dayna & the rest of our team would LOVE to meet + support YOU!! If you think we'd be a good fit, please leave a comment below to get some more information, or email us at info@beyonddailylife.org to learn more about accessing our service!
