Denise graduated cum laude from Ateneo de Davao University with a degree in International Studies, and has always had a passion for development work and social enterprises. Formerly the Executive Director of SEDPI Foundation, she developed and delivered various training programs nationwide, tackling leadership and social entrepreneurship. A teacher by heart, she uses that same energy to encourage MUNI’s community and corporate clients to adopt a more sustainability-oriented mindset, infusing her own brand of mindfulness as a yoga teacher, and humor as a nominated stand-up comedian by her friends and colleagues.
