Krisha Patel

Hey there! I'm Krisha Patel, a Junior at J.P. Stevens, a fine artist, editor, and a budding chef with a keen interest in behavioral science. My work through artbuddies.com, a program I created to prevent isolation in the elderly community, and my research on assisted living facilities have opened my eyes to the importance of mental well-being, especially among the elderly. My work in the field of gerontology has made me realize the power of nutrition in brain health, leading me to establish HealthyCookingForTheBrain. This platform combines my culinary passions with insights from behavioral science, offering recipes and knowledge that support brain health and tackle societal issues like ageism. My mission is to create a space where cooking meets science, enriching not just our diets but our minds too.
