- Concertino 2012 Publicity: Bring flyers and manage the fan table on Saturday, and in general talk up Concertino.
- 7Pi-Con Filk Programming: Talk to certain people about performing at Pi-Con, touch base with Con Chair, and in general talk up Pi-Con.
- President of MASSFILC: Run the monthly business meeting on Sunday, be a positive role model of filking, and in general talk up MASSFILC.
