Pat Cohen has had a multi-faceted career beginning as a travel agent and then finding her stride in public relations where she specialized in the political arena. She moved on to Real Estate and later owned and operated her own replica Jewelry Store in Beverly Hills, Lanciani.
Together with her husband and fellow board member Ira Cohen and friend Scott Sale, she founded the non-profit Safe Parking, L.A. which manages parking lots that provide a safe haven for the homeless who live and sleep in their vehicles. Safe Parking and its wrap-around services have changed the lives of many formerly homeless individuals. Pat and her husband of over 25 years reside in Los Angeles and continue to support various charities in the Greater Los Angeles area.
