Manvitha Guntu

Biography

I'm a graduate student in Information Technology Management with four years of prior industry experience and a growing interest in project management and process optimization.

Currently interning with the University of Texas System’s within Project Management Office in the Office of Chief Information Officer department , I contribute to initiatives that streamline collaboration, improve workflow visibility, and support scalable solutions across teams.

Beyond my internship, I serve as a Program Coordinator for Sigma Xi at UT Dallas, where I help plan and manage academic events that foster interdisciplinary research and student engagement.

I’m especially drawn to process improvement-finding what’s not working, listening closely, and designing systems that make things clearer, faster, and easier for everyone involved. Whether it’s building dashboards to surface the right insights or designing repeatable workflows, I enjoy connecting the dots between strategy and execution.

I'm passionate about growing as a leader in higher education IT and look forward to learning from others who are building efficient, inclusive, and collaborative academic environments.
