SMU alumna Petrina Loh received a scholarship from the Monetary Authority of Singapore to do a master's degree in Wealth Management at SMU. She had a thriving career as a banker for eight years and was then managing a sizeable $700 million portfolio, before she decided to quit and went to culinary school, learning how to chop, julienne and cook professionally. She now runs her own restaurant – Morsels in Dempsey – serving contemporary fusion cuisine. She and the eatery have bagged quite a few awards, including Restaurant of the Year and Chef's Choice (Western) at the World Gourmet Summit two years ago.
