He joined the Mosaic Festival in 2008 as a young volunteer with the goal of completing his 40 volunteer hours for high school. Seeing the sense of trust and responsibility given to all volunteers, Ashwin was continuously drawn back to the festival and grew out of the reserved and shy attitude to become a leader to younger volunteers ; first as a volunteer supervisor and now in the role of Logistic Coordinator. As the Logistic Coordinator, Ashwin supports all coordinators, ensuring that all facets of the festival are running in an orderly manner by allocating resources as required.
