Ex-corporate warrior discovers her 'soul' abroad

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.
