Emily is a Clinical Instructor and Lecturer on Law in the Harvard Law School Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation. She is Director of the Center's Food Law and Policy Clinic and Associate Director of the Center. Her work focuses primarily on food law and policy projects aimed at increasing access to healthy foods, preventing diet-related diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, and assisting small farmers and producers in participating in local food markets. Emily supervises Harvard Law students engaged in these projects and co-teaches (with Clinical Professor Robert Greenwald) a course entitled “Food: A Health Law and Policy Seminar.” In spring 2013, Emily will also teach an interdisciplinary law and public health reading group entitled "Legal and Public Health Perspectives on Food Policy" with HSPH Associate Professor Kirsten Davison.
Prior to joining the Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation, Emily spent two years in Clarksdale, Mississippi as the Delta Fellow, jointly funded by Harvard Law School, through the Winokur Family Foundation, and Mississippi State University. In that position, she served as Director of the Delta Directions Consortium, a group of university and foundation leaders who collaborate to improve public health and foster economic development in the Delta. Emily designed and implemented programmatic and policy interventions on a range of health and economic issues, and recruited and supervised over 60 Harvard Law School clinical and pro bono students in executing these endeavors.
While in law school, Emily focused her academic work in international human rights and humanitarian law, and worked as a summer legal associate at the Khmer Institute for Democracy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP. Emily received her B.A. in American History from Columbia University in 2003 and her J.D. from Harvard Law School, cum laude, in 2008. She is a licensed member of the bar of the State of New York.
