Richa Patel (Hon.Kinesiology), (she/her)

Richa is a second year Honours Kinesiology student and a Student Program Assistant of the newly developing MacPLAY program. She is interested in examining disparities in physical activity levels and health outcomes across different population groups, and exploring underlying social determinants in hopes of identifying interventions to address these disparities and promote health equity. Outside of the lab, Richa enjoys working out at the gym, hanging out and grabbing food with friends, and watching her favourite shows in the comfort of her room! She also volunteers in McMaster's ADAPT program and works as a support staff in the PULSE, and enjoys her time in the MAPs office with her SWHAT buddies.
