Adriana Ramirez

Accountant III
Department of Ophthalmology

First UTSW job: I was an Office Clerk in Medical Service Research and Development Plan (MSRDP) Finance during my senior year in high school. It was part of a co-op student program, and I still remember interviewing here. I’ve been at UTSW ever since – 10 years in Finance and 15 years in Ophthalmology. It was destiny!

Best part about my job: I never stop learning.

What energizes me at work: My cup of coffee!

Recipe for success: Being adaptable and self-motivated. Working at UTSW requires learning system upgrades. It’s always interesting to learn something new.

Unusual memory: In 2015, while I was pregnant with twins, I remember the file cabinets behind my desk started shaking. Luckily, it didn’t last long. Earthquakes were common that year in the Irving area.

I’m really good at: Making Mexican red enchiladas. It’s my mother’s recipe.

Final note: I’m married and have 5-year-old twins — a boy and a girl — and a 17-year-old daughter.
