I am Jess

My name is Jessica Anne Guy (but please call me Jess). I am studying to become an architect but currently work as a teacher at an elementary school (you can see this).

Hi, I’m Liliana Spinelli, but you can call me Lili! I’m a 3rd-year Bachelor of Architecture student at the BAC. I’m originally from Brazil, where I previously earned a Bachelor’s in Science and Technology with a concentration in architecture.

I am John James M.

I am an M.Arch student at the BAC, as well as a Product Configuration Analyst for a women's healthcare technology company. I grew up just on the edge of "the sticks" in Massachusetts, not far from the New Hampshire border. While I value working for a company with a meaningful mission, I realized it wasn't where I could make my greatest impact. This realization led me to pursue a career in architecture.

I am Alexia!

My name is Alexia Seretean. I am an international student coming from Bucharest, Romania. I am currently enrolled in the B. Arch program at the BAC! I aspire to create meaningful designs that truly serve people — crafting spaces that resonate with their needs and emotions. By blending architecture with psychology, I aim to design environments that feel personal, thoughtful, and uniquely tailored to each of my future clients.

Hey, it's NOUSHIN!

Hey all! My name is Noushin Nawal. I am an international student from Bangladesh and it's my fifth year in the B.Arch program at BAC. I am so excited to be doing my externship with Safdie Architects!

I have many interests and often find myself exploring new hobbies or learning new skills and subjects from art to science to business. I am a student mentor at the BAC and write in my free time. I also love looking up lots of architecture projects, mainly in education and healthcare.

I am excited to meet and learn alongside experienced people at Safdie Architects. I hope to create a workplace that values the achievements of its teams and create a safe place where people are treated fairly to share ideas, create and grow!

I am Troy!

I am a M.Arch candidate at the BAC entering my second semester. I enjoy the hands-on making component of architecture because it allows me to channel my productive efforts into physical creation while also acting as a fun stress reliever.

I am Asilhan!

My name is Asilhan Kiran. I am from Turkey, where I earned my B.Arch degree. This will be my final semester of the M.Arch program at the BAC. I perceive architecture as a dynamic and multidisciplinary profession that demands continuous learning and experience. I embrace the endless journey of growth and am enthusiastic about contributing my creativity to make a meaningful impact in the realm of architecture.

I am Júlia

I'm enjoying a second year as an architecture student, in the Bachelors of Architecture program. I also enjoy creating art and try to incorporate it into my architecture studies (seen). I am from MA, having lived in the South Shore for many years (unseen).

I envision my ideal workplace culture striking a balance between tackling challenges and taking care of the people. It would feature the prioritization of local and global challenges while uplifting those around (colleagues, community, and people in general). I strive to see how my studies in architecture will tie into this philosophy or idea.
