Daisha Alston is from Brunswick, GA, where she developed a passion for nature, outdoor sports, community, and dentistry. As a first-generation college graduate and the first doctor in the family, Daisha accredits her success to her dad, who taught her as a kid that “manners will take places that money cannot,” and numerous mentors who have facilitated her journey. During her time at the University of Florida College of Dentistry (UFCD), Daisha provided more than 100 hours of volunteer service to the members of the Gainesville community. Upon graduation from the UFCD, Daisha will meet the dental needs of soldiers as a Captain in the United States Army.
