Khyathi Vangali 

Co-Founder & President 

Hey, this is Khyathi! I'm a senior and the president of Thrive Hive.  I love hiking and reading and am currently working on my passion projects. Being a transfer student in sophomore year, I empathize with the feeling of being lost, helpless and adjusting to a new school. I'm excited to help students feel welcome at Westwood.

Co-Founder & Vice President 

Hey, I’m Nandhini Arunachalam, vice president of Thrive Hive. As a senior and transfer student, I know how overwhelming it can be to adjust to a new environment. Thrive Hive started as an idea I had, and with the help of the 2024-25 amazing officer team, we co-founded the club to make sure transfer and international students have a supportive space where they truly belong. I enjoy baking and sewing. I’m excited about this year and can’t wait to see how we grow together!

Tanvi Chakka

Webmaster

Hello! I'm Tanvi, and I'm so excited to be the webmaster of Thrive Hive this year! I'm a sophomore, and I love reading and origami. The first time I switched schools was between 8th and 9th grade. It was overwhelming - the sudden shift from a small charter school to a huge public school, where everyone already seemed to know each other and have things figured out. I can hardly imagine what it would feel like to transfer to a brand new school midway through the school year. I'm so excited to be able to provide guidance to those who need it through the Thrive Hive club!
