Meet Dani Cohen

By Maya Williams, JYP Coordinator

Dani Cohen has been involved with Jewish Young Professionals for nearly two years. Initially from Boca Raton, Cohen graduated in 2020 from Florida Gulf Coast University, majoring in child and youth studies with a concentration in special education. She moved to Naples shortly after and is now a program specialist for the STARbility Foundation, an organization that supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Her favorite JYP events have been the Shabbat dinners. “I love having Shabbat dinner together. It is always a great way to connect and relax with my friends who are also Jewish,” she says.

After being an active participant at the FGCU Chabad, Cohen looked to Jewish Young Professionals for a community of friends with the same traditions. She says, “JYP has allowed me to make new Jewish friends and feel like part of the community.”
