Exemplary Project Management Graduate Brings Analytical Mindset, Problem-Solving Ethos to PM Work

Nothing satisfies the hunger Vinita Mehta (MET’24) has for problem-solving quite like project management. The field’s capacity for instilling order in the face of the most complex demands aligns closely with her makeup and professional interests, she says, and even though she was already employed as a project manager, her greater ambitions and growth mindset motivated Mehta to pursue a MS in Project Management with a concentration in Program & Portfolio Management at Boston University’s Metropolitan College.

Today the special projects manager at SRMD, Mehta proved to be a stellar BU MET project management student, winning the Excellence in Graduate Studies Award for her efforts. While she came into her education with previous industry experience, she decided a graduate degree was key to not only help formalize her training, but to remain in the know of trends and developments to come in the field. In addition to her course work, Mehta found mentorship and motivation from faculty as well as through her active membership of the BU Project Management Club.
