Most recently, Emma worked in Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School working on campaign finance litigation and policy.

Ashwin Krishnan
I grew up in sunny San Diego, California, and made the fateful
decision to come to Harvard in the fall of 2001. While at Harvard, I concentrated in Government, and was involved in several
extracurricular activities, including the Harvard Crimson, the
Institute of Politics, and of course, An Evening with Champions.
During my summers, I had the good fortune of being able to work for
both the federal government and the National Basketball Association. After spending three years in the best house at Harvard, I graduated in 2005, and spent the following year pursuing an M.Phil. at the University of Cambridge. Besides traveling around Europe and learning how to appreciate wine, I also learned a little bit about European politics. Next, I worked for a year as a consultant at L.E.K. Consulting in Boston, which gave me a strong enough dose of the real world to make me want to return to Harvard for law school. At HLS, I am taking classes in a variety of fields, but am particularly interested in sports law and working in the sports industry.
I am really looking forward to meeting all of you, and please don't
hesitate to introduce yourself, as I am happy to talk about anything. I'm pretty familiar with the Government Department, Kennedy School of Government, and law school applications, but I'll have much more to say about anything going on in the world of sports, studying abroad/traveling, finance/consulting jobs, the glory days of the Eliot-list, and law school itself.
