Madeline (Mima) Kohn is a senior in the College, majoring in Urban Studies and minoring in Creative Writing. She is from Lower Merion, PA and the youngest of 7 siblings. She is passionate about cultivating shared space-- both as an aspiring non-profit real estate developer and regular dinner party host. Her urban research interests currently lie in exploring the impact of adaptive reuse of faith-owned property and examining the relationship between developers and home-owners in gentrifying neighborhoods of Philadelphia. Mima is currently working on a feature-length documentary about a road-trip through rural Romania, and enjoys life-writing, live-music, and hot yoga.
