Stacey Grant

Lead Medical Technologist
Core Lab, William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital

First UTSW job: Second-shift generalist at the former St. Paul University Hospital.

Best part about my job: A handful of co-workers have been by my side since day one. When you work with someone for 30 years, you really do become family.

How co-workers describe me: I’m from South Louisiana, and they say they can hear the “feisty Cajun” come out when I get excited.

Recipe for success: Adapting to ever-changing workflows and technologies.

Best UTSW memory: My husband started working at UTSW nine years ago in Facilities Maintenance. We can’t carpool together because we work different hours, but it’s still fun to run into him in the hallways and swap work stories at home.

I wish I were an instant expert at: Researching a cure for multiple sclerosis. My youngest daughter was diagnosed with MS at age 17.

Hobbies: Spending time in my backyard, hiking with friends, and taking beach vacations.

Surprising fact: I can catch you some blue crab with just a piece of string, two poles, and some turkey necks, thanks to many family reunions on the coast.

Claim to fame: Raising three children – Courtney, Mya, and Matthew – into young adults with the help of my husband of 29 years, John.
