Melissa Tinetti didn't start out thinking she would be the associate dean of Industry programs at RMIT University. But it's a fulfilling job that she enjoys and there is plenty to do, with literally hundreds of students to look after. Tinetti's first 10 years in the workforce had her utilising her architecture degree before she took time out to start a family. "As a kid, I was always building things such as treehouses and I was making things with my hands," she said. "And I did a drawing class at school in Year 9 and from that point on I realised I loved drawing and understanding how things could fit together. I started technical drawing from Year 10, so would have been 15, in a class with all boys. From that point I had a real passion for building and design and I pursued that as a career."
