Raven Owen is currently working as an Assistant Scientist at DEFRA after recently completing her MSc in Biomedical Science at York St John University. She previously achieved a Class I (First) in the same discipline in the summer of 2022. Raven’s medical research focussed on oncology and ways of improving chemotherapy drugs. Her longer-term goal is to study for a PhD.
Raven is a familiar face on British TV screens, having regularly appeared, with her parents Amanda and Clive Owen and 8 siblings, over the past decade on shows such as Countrywise (ITV), The Dales (ITV), Ben Fogle’s New Lives In The Wild (C5) and Our Yorkshire Farm (C5). She has also appeared in brand campaigns for the likes of Burberry and Boden, as well as creating content for her mum’s popular @yorkshireshepherdess Instagram page, working on campaigns alongside Morrisons, Quaker, The Week Junior, Crave Dog Foods and Natural England.
When she isn't working in the lab, Raven still regularly mucks in at her family’s 2000 acre hill farm at Ravenseat, North Yorkshire, one of the highest and most remote places in England. Raven first developed her passion for animals, science and biology due to her rural upbringing. It has offered her invaluable experience from an early age in a whole host of farming practices, from birthing lambs and milking cows to vaccinating sheep, as well as witnessing the natural cycles of life and the changing of the seasons on a busy working farm.
With a passion for all things equine, Raven likes to spend her spare time horse-riding around the stunning wild moorland of her rural home. She is also an accomplished cook and baker and has a keen interest in fabrics, textiles and interior design. Raven has over 40,000 followers on IG, where she regularly updates her fans on farming and working life.
