Jessica Yin graduated in 2001 with a concentration in HAA, and now works as a senior architect at the architectural firm SCB. “I focused on Architectural History and Theory, with the intention to apply to graduate school for Architecture. Thanks in large part to the guidance of HAA's academic advisor at the time, I was able to chart out a course for fulfilling prerequisites for application (including coursework at the GSD), as well as meet with current architecture students and working design professionals to better understand the field and profession. This was before any formalized Architecture Studies program existed at the College. After graduation I immediately commenced my studies at the GSD. I graduated in 2006 (M.Arch I) and have been a practicing architect since, having worked in Boston, Shanghai, London, and San Francisco, and on large commercial, academic, civic, residential, and urban projects globally.”
