Sterling Mayes

Manager, Office of Legal Affairs
Office of the Vice President for Legal Affairs

First UTSW job: Administrative Staff Assistant III. 

Best part about my job: I have an opportunity to be involved in the growth of UT Southwestern. Legal Affairs works with leadership on projects that include the growth of the campus. When I first started working at UTSW, there was no North, West, or East Campus. I am excited to see clinics in various communities and see UT Southwestern’s name on billboards. This makes me proud to work at an institution that is expanding in health care.

What energizes me at work: Working with a wonderful team of attorneys and administrative professionals and the variety of issues that Legal Affairs handles.

How co-workers describe me: Caring and hardworking. Co-workers know that I am someone whom they can rely on to get the job done.

Recipe for success: I am dependable and responsible. Those traits helped me to promote into positions with more responsibility.

I wish I were an instant expert at: Traveling. Even though I have not traveled outside of the United States, I would like to travel and spend extended periods of time in other countries to learn about different cultures.

Hobbies: I love spending time with my family, listening to music, and watching movies.

Surprising fact: I love all types of music and video games.
