It was about a year after dental school that I realized how much I enjoyed business. I felt drawn to leadership roles and teaching when it involved the business side of dentistry. Students who had questions about their career options after school, were my favorite kind of mentees! It was in June of 2021 that… Continue reading One year in tech

Starting a startup

January 20, 2021January 21, 2021 Sampada DeshpandeLeave a comment

Heads up. Feeling just a little vulnerable putting this out here. Here it goes. I’m starting a dental practice! I’m scared, but I’m going to do it anyway.
