Kim Stewart

Medical Technologist
Microbiology Lab

First UTSW job: Working as a Medical Technologist.

Best memory: Years ago, former faculty member Dr. Richard Jones would come around on Christmas Day and play his saxophone.

Best part of my job: I like learning about how the bacteria and fungi we identify affect the disease process and treatment of our patients. I also like feeling that we are part of a big team that contributes to the patient’s health and recovery.

Recipe for success: I am very detail-oriented and concerned about patient care.

What energizes me at work: Organizing anything.

I wish I were an instant expert at: Playing the guitar, because it seems like a lot of fun.

I’m really good at: Making a really good banana pudding from scratch. It’s my grandmother’s recipe.

Hobby or passion: I enjoy decorating and DIY projects.

Final note: My great co-workers are another reason why I like my job.
