Hi, I’m
Anke van Rooyen
UP Bcom Informatics Student
Discipline is a prerequisite for freedom, as structure is for creative expression.
Summary
As a Professional Dancer it was required to learn how to perform well alone and as part of ensembles. Self-awareness and reflection play a vitally important part in a career as a dancer.
Working in Digital Marketing, Sales and Web Development developed my decision-making and communication skills. I love solving complex problems and finding innovative ways to optimize or systems.
