Hi, I’m
Anne-Marie Jordaan
Academic Programme Lead - School Of Beauty And Health Sciences
Pretoria East
Summary
With 30 years in the beauty industry, my career as a Somatologist has allowed me to discover my passion for working with people and improving their health. Transitioning from retail to academia, I found my strengths lie in building relationships and excelling in marketing. As a facilitator and mentor, I have dedicated the last 11 years to guiding students towards success in the health industry, culminating in achieving my B-Tech qualification with CUM LAUDE. Now based in Pretoria, I am eager to bring my dedication and enthusiasm back into the dynamic industry landscape.
