Lucca, a Leavenworth resident since 1988, graduated from the University of Washington with a BS in Mathematics in 1990, completing her Bachelor of Clinical Health Services and Physician Assistant Degree in 2007.

Lucca has been with Cascade Medical Center as a Physician Assistant since January 2009, but prior to that worked as an EMT for Cascade Ambulance for 15 years. Previous jobs include working as a professional ski-patroller at Stevens Pass, a whitewater river guide in the Grand Canyon, and teaching Wilderness Medicine courses.

In her spare time, she loves to spend time doing outdoor activities, including kayaking, rafting, mountain biking, skate skiing and hiking. She chose Leavenworth as a home 20 years ago due to the beautiful surroundings and close-knit community, and has enjoyed it ever since.
