Adrienne Lee
Co-Head

Year 13

I was born in Baltimore, Maryland and moved to Boston with my family when I was 10 months old.  I went to public school and recently joined BISB for High School. The year 2020 has sparked my curiosity about social injustices, especially racism. I’m fascinated with different cultural traditions, different people, and different cuisines around the world.  Outside of my studies, I love to do care-free sketching, journaling/scrapbooking, baking, traveling, and playing competitive ice hockey. I have a huge soft spot for animals and handicapped children.

Vikrant Sabharwal
(Founder)

Class of 2022

I was a very passionate and hardworking student in the IB. After my realization that BISB did not have a student newspaper, I put my experience in journalism into action by founding The Bulldog Inquirer. I aim for The Bulldog Inquirer to unite the school community around different issues and topics. Outside of the newspaper, I am also dedicated to supporting younger students through the non-profit tutoring organization I founded, Study Buddy Tutoring, and through the Indian language and culture school I volunteer at. I am big into basketball and play it competitively all year around. I am passionate about politics, economics, and business.
