Biography

Jacob Bowen is excited to continue as a Residential Counselor for the 4th Floor North Wing at The Gatton Academy. He was raised in Ekron, Kentucky where he spent many childhood summers cultivating tobacco on the family farm. He attended Meade County High School in Brandenburg, Kentucky while also attending The Gatton Academy as part of Class of 2018. After high school, he continued study at Western Kentucky University, graduating in 2021 with a Bachelor's in both Biology and Chinese. He is currently pursuing a Master's in Biology at WKU. Previously, he worked with The Center for Gifted Studies as a SCATS/VAMPY counselor in the summer of 2019 and with The Gatton Academy as a Biology, Chemistry, and Chinese tutor. 

His time as a student at The Gatton Academy was significantly formative and has put him in reach of many wonderful opportunities as well as forged beautiful friendships. As a Residential Counselor, he hopes to facilitate a similarly great experience for Academy students. He loves being able to work here as the community that lives in Florence Schneider Hall is unique and inspiring. 

In his free time, he enjoys playing video games and TTRPGs such as Dungeons & Dragons. He loves listening to and singing music, anything from folk to alternative metal. Outside, he enjoys being in natural undisturbed places, especially streams, where he can hike and climb while looking for interesting living things.
