I have recently completed an Advanced Diploma in Building and Design (Architectural)

located at Holmesglen Institute of Tafe at Chadstone Campus in 2014.

My passion for the building industry was sparked upon entering the property market myself.

After undertaking a major renovation, my interest was further enhanced when I was heavily

involved with the design process and consulting with the drafting office. These were fond

years in the property market buying and renovating, and I decided to follow my new dreams by

commencing the Advanced Diploma of Building Design (Architectural) course at Holmesglen Tafe.

THE COURSE CURRICULUM INCLUDED

• Building and Design of Residential and Commercial Buildings, applying best practice and

National Construction Codes Volume 1 and 2(NCC), and Australian Standards (AS) with State

and Local Planning Policies and Schemes to meet compliance for planning and building

approval.

• Production of town planning and working drawings using Archicad 18 3D program mainly,

including brief period using Autodesk Revit drafting tool, to create 3D models, including

illustrations, applying render, producing planning and working drawings that include

elevations, floor plans, sections and details to a good standard. Photoshop poster

presentations also.

• Building an appreciation and respect for Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD)

principles including Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) in buildings to enhance and

protect our natural environment through design and layout.

• Important awareness of passive design and applying these initiatives in creating sustainable

future developments and knowledge of practical and theoretical aspects of design and

Architecture.

• Knowledge of BAL sensitive design and understanding of use of relevant materials.

• Final semester group project work creating a 5 towered Mixed Use multi-unit development

with commercial ground-level space and basement carpark, simulating completion within

time frames considering the client’s brief and objectives. The final major project presented to

Building Faculty members, fellow students, family and friends.

I proudly completed this course in 2014 after 5 ½ years of part time study. I was highly motivated

and committed as I accomplished this also while working full-time with a young family. In

my spare time I have engaged with creating 3D concept images and planning alterations for

people considering altering their homes, while continuing to practise and learn the Archicad 3D

program. Finding a permanent doorway into the industry is my new challenge.

I graduated from R.M.I.T. (Bundoora) in 1995 with a Bachelor of Psychiatric Nursing. In my

20years within the Mental Health field, I have enjoyed working in a variety of roles, both for

Eastern Health and currently for Peninsula Health. I have gained considerable experience in

a variety of settings. Past Shift Leader and Case Manager positions instilled invaluable and

relevant skills in the assessment and treatment of clients, liaison with carers and relevant

services. I have undertaken senior roles enjoying the added challenge and further job

satisfaction managing a multidisciplinary team, which included being approached to be

Team Leader of a brand new APARC (Adult Psychosocial and Rehabilitation Centre) facility

and service, coordinating complex clients, managing staff, and liaising with Building Project

Managers to complete aspects of the new residential facility.

I believe, therefore, that my highly developed interpersonal, communication and rapport

building skills more than adequately equip me to meet the demands of the above advertised

position. I am a very positive and enthusiastic person, passionate and dedicated, and eager

to continue learning from a leader in the Building Construction field. My background and new

training also allows for important awareness of documentation and Risk Management.

I believe I would be a valuable asset.

I have created this portfolio to provide you with a visual appreciation of my understanding,

knowledge, abilities and attributes of Building and Design.
