Rory Tucker

As a student at Texas A&M University, I worked as a student researcher studying pecan genomics using SSR genetic markers. After graduating in 2017, I changed career paths and decided to enter the medical field and become a radiologic technologist. In 2018, I was hired at Lone Star University-Park as a biology tutor while I completed pre-requisites needed for a radiologic technologist program. I served as a Science Hotspot coordinator from November 2018 - January 2020. I returned part-time as a tutor for biology and anatomy courses.
