Hey there! Launching December 16, What She Does is the podcast that spills the tea on surprisingly cool jobs – and the women behind them.

Each episode takes you inside a career journey, from the first spark to the unexpected twists that shaped it. You’ll hear the real stuff — how she got there, the detours and curveballs, the personality traits, the life lessons, and how her profession is evolving.

Think of it as part career confessional, part field guide to the modern world of work.

Join us to see what she does and whether it is something you might do next.

In this episode of What She Does, we sit down with Dr. Tsolair Hovsepian, a general dentist and small practice owner, to explore what a career in dentistry actually looks like from the inside.

Tsolair walks us through the full scope of her day — from routine checkups and cosmetic work to the less visible side of running a business: managing staff, navigating insurance reimbursements, and keeping cash flow steady. She also shares the emotional high of watching a patient completely turn their oral health around, and the heartbreak of watching someone ignore advice until it's too late.

We talk about what it was like entering a historically male-dominated field, the instincts that make a great dentist, and why robots are already showing up in dental offices. Plus — the advice Tsolair would give her younger, pre-med self.
