Let me introduce myself, I'm Hunter Hancock, and my journey with AIMHiTN began in April 2021, a time that marked the beginning of my continued contributions to our shared mission. I'm a proud alumnus of Middle Tennessee State University, where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Social Work in 2012. For 9 years, I championed for the rights of people with disabilities in institutional settings, including children's facilities, as an investigator of abuse and neglect. Not only was my role focused on individual cases, but I also advocated for large scale policy changes.
Since becoming part of AIMHiTN team, I have since taken on several roles including Community Liaison, Inclusion and Emergency Response Coordinator. Now, as a Program Impact Coordinator, my job revolves around analyzing our program's impact through a meticulous process of data gathering, research, and coordinating with our partner groups. My primary objective is to contribute to our collective impact advocacy, educate policymakers, and advance systems in a way that proves effective for families in Tennessee and the service providers.
I currently share my life with my lovely wife in Maryville, TN. When I'm not absorbed in my professional role, I relish the simplicity of outdoor activities, nurturing veggies in my garden, and cherishing moments spent with family.
