Owen Headley
Volunteer Coordinator (Fundraising): Born in New York
Hi everyone! I’m Owen, one of the newest members of the Nova team. Raised in London, I recently returned after five years in Glasgow completing my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Geography. I chose to study geography as I wasn't sure what I wanted to do as a career when I was 18 and wanted to keep my options open. My current plans are to hopefully get involved in the sustainability space in the coming years. In my spare time, you’ll usually find me playing hockey or football, reading, or watching Arsenal matches through my fingers. I am incredibly excited to get started with Nova!
