profile from 2016
For Clarisse Lau, former Commerce Society VP external, reaching the level of senior manager at KPMG, was a great achievement, but, "I felt like I was stagnating", she told Smith Magazine in 2016. For a change of pace, Clarisse researched opportunities in the global development space where she could put her financial and operations experience to good use, eventually finding One 1ove (pronounced love), a Botswana organization focused on providing youth with life-saving informational programming around HIV/AIDS.
