Debby Noble

Manager Clinical Research
Plastic Surgery

First UTSW job: I started as a Research Technician III in the Department of Plastic Surgery.

Best part about my job: I love the variety and the challenges! And I have enjoyed working with faculty and staff in my department.

Unusual memory: It was the year we had research fellows working in our lab from all over the world – it was like the United Nations in the Plastic Surgery lab. We took them all to the State Fair of Texas for some team building.

How co-workers describe me: Dependable, always looking on the bright side.

Recipe for success: Keeping a positive attitude.

What energizes me at work: Creative problem solving in the lab energizes me. And I love working with the high school students, college students, and medical students who come to work in our lab.

I wish I were an instant expert at: Playing a musical instrument. I admire anyone who is musically inclined.

Hobby or passion: My sons, daughters-in-law, and grandson! Scrapbooking, painting, reading, various other arts and crafts.

Surprising fact: I worked as a clown when I was in high school and I made balloon animals.

Final note: I have so many great memories at UT Southwestern! And I am really glad that I stayed in the Department of Plastic Surgery.
