About Shruthi

Shruthi Sriram graduated magna cum laude from Boston College in 2024 with a BA in History and Economics. She is currently a senior project analyst at Mintz Levin, where she supports case teams across litigation, immigration, government relations, and pro bono advocacy. In this role, she leads the firm’s Political Asylum and Domestic Violence Clinics. Through trauma-informed client interviews, legal drafting, and policy research, she has become deeply attentive to how legal systems are experienced by individuals navigating migration and seeking safety.

Before Mintz, Shruthi worked with the Innocence Project, contributing to efforts to exonerate wrongfully incarcerated individuals. She also supported research and advocacy at the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, where she examined the civil liberties implications of emerging surveillance technologies.

At Boston College, Shruthi was named a Scholar of the College for her senior thesis, “Comrade Journalists: The Vanguard of the Revolutionary State.” Supported by an archival research grant, she explored transnational solidarity networks during twentieth-century social movements and their portrayal in the American radical press. She received the Carol Petillo Award from the department for her specialization in US foreign policy, biography, and feminist history.

Service has additionally been a through-line in Shruthi’s academic and professional life. She served on the council of the PULSE Program for Service Learning, volunteered with a pro bono immigration clinic assisting clients with citizenship applications, and co-founded a campus mindfulness initiative that brought meditation classes into correctional settings. She was selected to lead her class chapter of the Order of the Cross and Crown, a service-based honor society.

Outside of work, Shruthi finds grounding in reading, museums, movies, and above all, music. She is classically trained in Carnatic music and aims to carry that foundation in composition and rhythm into her love for contemporary music and production.
