I have a lifelong background in all aspects of real estate finance development. I was very blessed to have had a mother and grandmother who were extremely involved in real estate, which was uncommon for that time period and was, I believe, the basis for my love and drive in real estate. I’ve been featured as a real estate finance expert in many high profile publications over the years, and in 2009 I was honored to speak before the CPA Societies of West Los Angeles and Pasadena. In addition, I was featured on a panel at UCLA entitled “Glamour Real Estate.” I founded Crestview Financial in the 1980s, which was the first woman-owned mortgage brokerage company to fund in excess of $1 billion in loans per year. Academically, I’m a Beverly Hills girl and attended El Rodeo and Beverly High. I have three master’s degrees from USC and Pepperdine. Most important, I have three sons, Mark, Randy and Curtis Cohen, and eleven grandchildren. I love to travel to uncommon destinations anyplace in the world (I can only be away for 2 weeks max from my business, so I move fast!). I support innumerable charities, and am always eager to help whenever I can.

Mission Statement

The Women’s Professional Network (WPN) was formed by Adrian Grant, an established Los Angeles Realtor and philanthropist, to build a network and community of successful and like-minded dynamic women. Together with co-chairs, Gloria Shulman and Lynda Levy, WPN has grown from a small gathering to a vibrant dedicated group of women from professions including medical, mental health, art, finance, and law.


The mission for WPN is to foster, enlighten, and educate women who want to expand their professional services as well as charitable services by offering their time and financial assistance to the larger community. One of the goals of WPN is to expand the support and growth of women through chapters around the country and world because we believe in being mindful of our role(s) in society and the many contributions we make. Madeleine Albright said it best - "There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."


WPN meets on the first Monday of each month at a private home providing dinner and a topical presentation. Feel free to browse our website for WPN meeting information and calendar of exciting events.
