Some of my side hustles:

President and founder of the Virginia Ave Dog Park partners association who are the community stewards of DC's largest public dog park in Capitol Hill and Navy Yard
Director for the Awesome Foundation's global convening of organization leaders from around the globe; I re-envisioned the event structure and content expanding it to focus on actionable results and shared content

Back when I lived in Florida, I helped organize a Bubble Flash Mob (back when that was a thing). We organized it through MySpace (seriously). It was pretty cool.
