Ashwin Kishor, Photo Staffer

Ashwin Kishor is a first-year photo staffer on The Muse. Aside from capturing “the Dreyfoos Magic”, Ashwin competes in debate and loves playing tennis. From rhythmically composing music on his Indian drum set (the tabla), mixing a myriad of different tracks as a DJ, or listening to the newest rap music out each Friday, Ashwin loves music. He’s also a pizza connoisseur, and on a quest to find the best slice in the country (make sure to give him any recommendations!). Ashwin can’t wait to take numerous photos on The Muse this school year.
