At BET, project coordination plays a critical role in moving ideas from early planning through construction. For Yasmin, that process is exactly what makes the work rewarding.
Yasmin joined BET a little over a year ago and serves as a Project Manager. She enjoys guiding projects from their earliest stages through construction while helping keep the many moving pieces aligned.
“Coordination in general is something I’m very passionate about,” she says. “Starting a project from the beginning, taking the lead, and following the entire path through construction — that’s the most fun part for me.”
One project that stands out to her is a residence hall project in Connecticut during the pandemic. The circumstances pushed her outside her comfort zone and into new responsibilities.
"It really put me on the spot,” Yasmin explains. “I had to take on more than I expected, but it pushed me into positions I hadn’t experienced before.”
When asked to describe BET’s team culture, Yasmin points to the supportive environment.
“I’d say supportive and collaborative,” she says. “Once you get to know everyone, it really feels like a family.”
Her favorite projects tend to be in the academic sector.
“The academic projects are very fun,” she says. “Talking with students and the people involved in the project creates a really great environment.”
For those just entering the industry, Yasmin encourages confidence and curiosity.
“Don’t be shy. Speak up, ask questions, advocate for yourself, and never stop trying to improve.”
Outside of work, Yasmin enjoys spending time with her children, swimming, dancing, cooking, traveling, and being outdoors. Her kids, she says, are also her biggest motivation.
If she hadn’t chosen this profession, Yasmin says she might have pursued a career in healthcare — at different points considering becoming a dentist, pediatrician, or even a neurosurgeon.
