Her story is a masterclass in persistence, family values, and the courage to keep growing.

What You'll Discover:

The Dentistry Love Affair: How Devisha's childhood obsession with dental visits - jealously watching her siblings get treatment whilst loving the blue lights and orange shields - sparked an unusual passion for the profession.

Sweet Shop Success Formula: Growing up above her parents' newsagents, learning the entrepreneurial work ethic that led her to tackle six-day weeks straight out of foundation training without hesitation.

University Reality Check: Why problem-based learning in first year caught her completely off guard, leading to repeating the year - and how this became her greatest lesson in resilience.

The Mentor Hunt: How being dismissed as "too old for a mentor" only fuelled her determination to find the right guidance, ultimately leading her to transform her cosmetic dentistry approach.

Community Over Competition: Why joining a mentorship group where everyone's "comfort zone cries" has been the game-changer in her professional development and personal growth.

Devisha's journey from traditional NHS practice to private cosmetic dentistry, whilst planning her own clinic and navigating life's challenges, showcases the power of staying curious and never settling for "good enough."

Perfect for dentists ready to embrace discomfort as a pathway to growth and discover why some of life's best opportunities come disguised as challenges.
