Parisa is a maxillofacial surgeon in the UK. She was born and raised in Iran, later moving to the UK for education and work. As a young woman, she grew up in a society that limited development opportunities for women and she became passionate about pushing boundaries in every aspect of her life. She now mentors female surgeons in training, working with them in reaching their potential and having more confidence in the workplace and home. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking and cycling and recently became a yoga instructor, a practice she has committed to for the past 14 years. Parisa is an advocate for providing women with opportunities to thrive and creating environments where they can be their authentic selves.
