Owen, a Charlotte native, has always had a passion for healthcare. He attended Appalachian State, where he majored in exercise science, intending to pursue a career in athletic training. Owen developed an interest in nursing after finishing his undergraduate degree through the inspiration of his sister, who is also a nurse. Owen then went to Queens University, where he received his nursing degree, and has worked six years as a registered nurse in the emergency room. He loved his work as a nurse, but often found himself wanting more responsibility and pursued his family nurse practitioner degree at Simmons University in Boston, MA.
Owen has a keen interest in preventative medicine, establishing relationships with patients, and providing access to care to those whose resources are limited.
