Khushi Patel, a native of Olive Branch, Mississippi, is in her third year at the University of Mississippi, pursuing a B.A. in Psychology. After graduation, she plans to attend a Physician Assistant program and, as a CEED Scholar, hopes to gain valuable experience through the Grisham-McLean Institute. While in Oxford, Khushi has co-coached a U-12 children’s soccer team for three seasons and will begin her fourth season this fall. She has also volunteered with the Boys and Girls Club of North Mississippi, supervising K-12 children after school.

To achieve this, she plans to graduate early in the winter of 2025.
