SCOA Welcomes Elizabeth Huber

Jul 15, 2025, 07:00 AM by SCOA
Elizabeth Huber recently joined the Sealy Center on Aging as a Senior Business Coordinator and will primarily be working with Lexi, Oscar, and Dr. Morrow on project coordination and ensuring smooth operations across the team.
Elizabeth has been with UTMB for 13 years, most recently serving as a Medical Staff Interpreter. In that role, she supported a wide range of specialties and enjoyed building relationships with faculty and patients alike. She especially valued witnessing the professional growth of residents and the dynamic, behind-the-scenes nature of the work.

Originally from Mexico and raised in Galveston, Elizabeth lives downtown and is excited to restart her daily walking commute. She and her husband recently married and love hosting gatherings of all kinds. A proud mother and grandmother, her daughters and grandchildren live in Galveston and California. Her weekly lunch dates with her husband are one of her favorite traditions.

Elizabeth looks forward to continuing her professional growth, building strong relationships, and contributing to the team’s success. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family, hosting themed dinners, and staying active.

Please join us in welcoming Elizabeth to the Sealy Center on Aging!
