Graduate Profile: Jessica Halvorsen

Diploma of Arts (Interior Decoration & Design), 2008 Graduate. Now working as Interior Designer at NBRS. “It's great here at NBRS. I offered to do work experience for a couple of weeks back in March/April to get my foot in the door, then they offered me a job here after 1 week which was an awesome surprise! So I have been here for almost 6 months now.  I've gained a lot of experience and responsibility here in a short amount of time. I've been working on a broad range of jobs such as schools, churches, restaurants, hotels, lobby's etc. I’m really loving it. I'm so glad I did the course at CATC. The course just went so fast you don’t have time to take it all in until you put it into practice! Working in the field now has made me realise how much I learned.”
