Founder

I am a passionate advocate for the environment and ecological diversity. My interest in nature and environmental conservation have been ignited by my background in competitive golf. My experience traveling to many different countries and states in the US has deepened my appreciation for the planet and reinforced my commitment to environmental protection. With BioThrive, I aims to spread sustainable practices and restore local ecosystems in local communities.

My name is Cole Luce, and I am currently a senior at Langley High School. I enjoy casually playing several sports, such as basketball and football, and competitively rowing for Langley. In volunteering at BioThrive, I hope to work towards healthier and more biodiverse local environments because fostering and allowing local species to thrive will create a healthier and more sustainable space for not just the animals but the people living nearby as well.

Ever since I first set foot in the outdoors, the environment has been my greatest passion. whether it’s been boy scouts, hiking, or community service, caring for the environment has always been my utmost priority, and has shaped how i live my day-to-day life. in joining this club, i hope to make the world a better place for everyone — no matter the time, effort, or cost required.

Webmaster

I am a senior at Langley High School. I enjoy spending time with friends, photographing the outdoors, and wrestling for Langley High School. I saw smaller parks neglected and overrun with trash and invasive species, and I knew something needed to change. In working with BioThrive, I strive to revitalize our parks and create a sustainable environment for our community.

Treasurer

Hi! I’m Chase Donnelly, and I enjoy playing soccer, meeting new people, and spending time with my friends and family. Seeing trash piled up during hikes, the algae-covered lake, and the barren, eroded trails, I felt like the environment was getting neglected. I want to be able to initiate change and inspire others to follow my example.

Social Media Manager

Growing up in Iowa, my interest in the envrionment originates from my visit to Effigy Mounds National Monument. Here, I realized that nature is where I find my peace. With BioThrive, I want to restore the balance between human activity and nature by promoting sustainable practices and protecting local ecosystems.

I have a passion for biology. I competed in the USA Biology Olympiad and was one of the captains of my school’s Science Olympiad Team. Stemming from my love for biology, I hold a special place in my heart for conservation and hope to research sustainable agricultural procedures when I grow up. When I am not surveying plants, I can be found playing basketball or annoying my brother with yet another tuba piece.

Hi! My name is Rachel Ku, and I go to Langley High School. Some of my hobbies and interests include playing table tennis and trying new foods. I also like picking up trash and doing research on the climate! I care about the climate because climate change is rampant and devastating to a lot of people. It is important that we join together in the fight against climate change!

Jayden Lee is a senior at Langley High School. His passion for the environment stems from his belief in transcendentalism: by connecting with nature, we tap into something greater than ourselves. When he's not spending time with his other half, find Jayden reading, fluting, debating, running (almost never), appreciating friendship, spending time with family, and relearning the importance of getting outdoors.
