Highlights: Tucker was born and raised in western Maine. After graduating from high school, he took time off before attending college to complete outdoor leadership courses and become a cer- tified Wilderness EMT. In the spring of 2015, Tucker graduated from Warren Wilson College after studying Political Science and Global studies with a concentration in Peace and Social Justice. During his time as an undergraduate he worked on various projects focused on education and women's healthcare. Tucker spent time in Malawi teaching about HIV/AIDS, as well as working on curriculum development and implementation. This experience, along with time spent in Panama researching healthcare practices for rural populations, cemented his aspirations to help underserved demographics. This interest eventually led him back to Maine where he interned with Congresswoman Chellie Pingree and continued to focus on periphery demographic resource allocation.
