Mary Galicki

  • Favorite Part About Working at UMMC: 
    • Working within an institution that helps the state's most vulnerable patients and within a department that facilitates the destigmatization of mental health issues.
  • Fun Fact:
    • My family and I were "attacked" by monkeys while leaving a wildlife reserve in Mexico. They followed us to our car, climbed on my then 2-year-old brother's head, and stole his sippy cup. As we tried to get in our car, one of the monkeys hopped in and ransacked a snack bag, escaping with younger brother's bottled orange juice and a snack. Seemingly satisfied, he fled with said snacks up a tree. 10/10, would return!
  • Favorite Animal:
    • This is a hard question, as I love all animals, but based on the sheer number of them we've acquired over the years, I'll go with cats.
