Shradha Patel
PATH SCHOLARS COACH
Shradha Patel, Co-founder of Roxbury Prep High School (Massachusetts), was named one of Boston Business Journal’s “Power 50 for 2020” for her leadership in education. She works with PATH Scholars and families to identify the schools that fit their individual needs and abilities, navigate the college prep process, and make the best possible educational decisions.
After 20 years of service as an educator and school leader, Shradha is motivated by an outrage that quality education isn’t available to everyone living in the wealthiest country in the world.
