BUT Newbie Dyna told us about herself.
Dyna is a Senior Care Advocate through her experiences. She is from the Philippines and came to the US in 1999. She met her hubby here after 3 years.
Her career began when she became a compliance officer in Lorea, then she moved to Australia and worked for a marketing company. She worked her way up from being a housekeeper and a caregiver to owning her own business called Bliss Senior Care Foundation. Bliss is an acronym for Blessed Low Income Senior Support.
After 3 attempts she finally got her Visa to come to America, a life-long dream.
We enjoyed her as a speaker when Bliss was our program in recent several months.
