A long time ago, I volunteered for Asha for Education where I have played chapter-coordinator, treasurer and projects coordinator. I co-founded the Michigan State University chapter.

Also a long time ago, I used to play in the Midwest Cricket Conference, a 40-over leather ball league (Go Arsenal!).

Also a long time ago, I was a speaker on the circuit (in 2013).
