Thank You AECOM!
Being at AECOM has been an incredible experience. It's been a great opportunity to learn from some of the best professionals in the industry and get hands-on experience. I've been able to view a variety of projects and have had the chance to collaborate with some amazing people on my own proposed project. The company culture is also very inclusive and supportive, which has made my time here even more enjoyable.
A (I think this might be my twin) Buddy!
Hanging out with Sia, this week has been a full circle moment. Each day we both came to realize how similar we are to each other. It's amazing to meet someone for the first time and realise you share so many things in common. Like reuniting with a long-lost buddy who completely understands you. It was so cool to swap experiences and discuss common interests.
This semester I am committing to being a TA for City Lab and a Student Ambassador. I see this as a way to provide moral support to students starting their academic journey.
A Down-To-Earth Mentor (The Coolest Ever)
This week has been filled with opportunities to shadow great professionals like Matt, Sarah and Marko at AECOM. I am very grateful for having Matt as my firm supervisor. He’s very encouraging, insightful and funny.
All week he has gone above and beyond to show Sia and me a great time and made us feel like we were a part of the team.
(Who else can brag about taking a ferry to the airport for a site visit at Terminal E or playing cornhole on the rooftop!)
I can't express enough how crucial and beneficial it is to play both mentor and mentee roles as someone who has done both. You get to provide and receive advice from individuals who are interested in you—not only professionally, but also throughout your life.
A Multi-Hyphenated Client List
Today's shadowing with Marko Vukovic reminded me of the amount of dedication, coordinating, delegating and planning that goes into a project's success (even at this conceptual stage). It truly does take a "village" of highly skilled individuals working together to bring a project to life (or, at the very least, from a vision to a physical being).
Three days into my externship at AECOM, I can say that I am motivated to pursue a career in transportation infrastructure.
It looks like a place for window shopping in the Material Library and for playing Cornhole!
We got to shadow Sarah Kost today and listen in on meetings with engineers, planners, and other designers as they discussed plans for Amtrak and airport facility renovations and updates. It was amazing to see how AECOM encourages collaboration across departments and how dedicated each individual is to bringing projects to life. Then, with Matt and Rebecca (BAC Alumni), we played a quick game of cornhole. We had a great time talking about school life and the transition to work. Finally, we joined Sarah and Rebecca in the Material Library, where we window-shopped various textures and finishes.
Workplace - The Full-Circle Experience
AECOM Boston's workplace culture is a blend of architecture and engineering expertise with a touch of Bostonian charm. During our visit, we were able to observe Matt and his colleagues as they planned the next stage of the Logan International Terminal E project. Then, we took a brief ferry ride to the airport, got a firsthand look at Terminal E shortly after its soft opening, and appreciated the Boston Red, with all its magnificent splendour. Finally, we headed back to the office to view the project model using VR. The experience was immersive and allowed me to see the project from different perspectives.
Hey, I am Thea
My name is Thea Barton. I am in my fifth year as a Bachelor of Architecture student. I am originally from Antigua and Barbuda, the twin island state. Where I used to be an avid hiker and explorer, but now I explore the streets of Boston (and other cities/towns)!
I want to create and be a part of a workplace culture that encourages thoughtful development and creative expression through alternative means and methods.
I am excited to be a part of the AECOM team next week!
