What would you do if you were cut off from the profession you trained for years to do?
In a new continent. In a new culture. Without a network.
With the one thing you've dedicated your life to be good at, cut off from you.
This is Akanksha Adivarekar story. It's a story about the power of positivity and humility. Of making the best of your situation and asking how you can do better.
Akanksha is a Dentist by training.
And despite the desperate need in the UK for Dentist's she was unable to practice in any form here. But Akanksha looked for the positives. She began sharing her feelings and experiences, anonymously at first.

She had to begin a new career from scratch and started out as a crew member at McDonalds. She rose to manager and then in the learning and development team. Then she developed a career in HR.
All from finding Mentors who could help and asking for help when she struggled.
