Passport Activities

Travel

Visalia, CA

When I was 7 years old, I visited my family in California. Here, I saw the Sequoia Redwoods and competed in a Mutton Busting Competition (a wild sheep riding competition). I came in second place.

Madrid, Spain

In my sophomore year, I traveled to Madrid with my Family, where we saw Taylor Swift Perform. Here we visited the Royal Palace and other museums.

Miami, FL

Junior Year I traveled to Miami, Florida, with my close friend. There, I was immersed in heavy Jewish and Cuban culture. We had the chance to visit a modern art museum and a pop-art political movement museum.

Grenoble, France

In my Junior year, I participated in Holliston High School's French Exchange program. I hosted Sarah Gorisse, an eleventh grader from Grenoble, France, for October 2024. I then lived with her for 4 weeks in 2025. Here, I was exposed to intense French culture, where I learned about day-to-day life and French history.

Milan, Italy

Between my 4-week exchange and tour with GCP, my mom and I spent a week in Milan, Italy, together, where we were able to spend Good Friday at the Duomo. The Duomo is one of the 10th largest churches in the world as it took 6 centuries to complete its construction.

EF Tour (Italy + France)

After my 4-week exchange in France, I joined the GCP traveling group in Milan, Italy, for a week of exploring Northern Italy and the South of France.

350 Mass is passionate about helping the younger generation learn ways to address climate change. Many of their campaigns deal with changing legislation to support the creation of greener communities. David Green and Dawn Durning-Hammond are members of 350 Mass. Through their presentation at HHS, they informed students about reducing carbon emissions.

Habitat for Humanity Visit

A representative from Habitat for Humanity visited my Fall Semester Service Learning Class and shared with us stories of the organization helping people.

Political Rallies

In the 2020 election, I organized a political rally in the center of town with my mom. Since then, I have been an involved member of local political movements.

Clubs

Circle of Hope

Alongside classmates, Sara Schellings and Kyleigh Depoto, I founded Holliston High School's Club, Circle of Hope. Circle of Hope was created as our Service Learning Project and I plan on continuing the club as part of my senior/capstone project. Within one month as a club we accumulated nearly 80 members, 50 of whom who are active participants. Learn more about this on the "Capstone Project" page.

Ballet

Nutcracker

I have danced in 8 Nutcracker performances, where I have learned the culture and history behind each dance. Examples are "Spanish Chocolate" and "Arabian Coffee".

Youth American Grand Prix

The Youth American Grand Prix is a prestigious dance competition that visits every country each year. I was lucky enough to compete four years in a row, performing various classical variations as well as a group piece that made it to the finals in NYC, where we would've competed against dancers from across the world had COVID-19 not disrupted the world.
