meet the founder
Dayna Monardez
Dayna Monardez is the founder of Redeemed, a woman in recovery with lived experience, recovery advocate, ordained minister, and community leader. Her life has been deeply impacted by addiction—not only through her own recovery journey, but through witnessing its effects on people she loves and the community around her.
Those experiences created a passion to make a difference, and Dayna believes God ultimately led her to open the doors of Redeemed and create a place where others could find hope, connection, support, and an opportunity to build a different life.
At the heart of her work is a desire to serve and a belief that people sometimes need someone willing to believe in them until they can begin to believe in themselves. Through Redeemed, Dayna is committed to creating environments and opportunities that encourage personal and spiritual growth, strengthen recovery, and empower individuals to build healthy, purposeful, and self-directed lives.
