Janie Cogen

Cogen is interested in the different ways that time is experienced in civilization, in nature, in wilderness. She has an earnest desire to save the world – since her love of wild things and places nears infatuation, conservation is where she plan to put all her energies. She will travel to Eastern Africa to experience living at a different pace and learn more about the natural world she loves.

What are you doing now?

“I work in operations at an engineering company and still love to travel.”
