Shraddha Patel

Shraddha Patel is a recent graduate of the University of Louisville where she double majored in Sociology with a Track in Diversity and Inequality & Liberal Studies. She is interning with the RENEW Team through the NIH/NIDA Summer Research Internship Program. Shraddha initially became interested in addiction research following a Reproductive Justice course in which she learned about drug use and pregnancy, and, given that background, she was immediately drawn to the RENEW Team's work. Outside of the internship, Shraddha actively volunteers with youth leadership programs and runs a small business as a henna artist.
