SMU graduate Denise Lim studied business and sociology on an American Chamber of Commerce scholarship and was on the University's dean’s list for two years. After one and a half years of working in Accenture, she quit and left to travel, ending up in Guatemala, Central America, where she learnt Spanish, became a yoga teacher and started three businesses. All her businesses have a social goal: her restaurant regularly holds fundraisers for different NGOs; her bakery is her way of introducing healthier eating options to locals; and her online school helps to find jobs for local Spanish teachers.
