Employee Spotlight: Makenna Cooney

At BLU by ThriveWell^®, our culture comes to life through the people who show up every day ready to make a difference. Each month, the Thrive Award recognizes a team member who brings our values to life through the way they work, support others, and contribute to the BLU experience.

For September, we are proud to recognize Makenna Cooney, Member Experience Coordinator, for embodying the BLU Value of Embracing Creativity.

Since joining BLU in February, Makenna has quickly become someone the team can count on. Whether she is helping a member, supporting a teammate, stepping into something unexpected, or finding a new way to get something done, she brings a positive attitude and a willingness to help.

She is known for always having a smile and for being ready to jump in wherever she is needed. That willingness to step up and think differently is exactly what makes her such a meaningful part of the BLU team.

As Nick Jackson, BLU Operations Manager, shared: “Makenna’s willingness to step up, think creatively, and take on whatever the team needs has made a real difference!”

Makenna’s ability to approach challenges creatively while staying focused on the people around her reflects what it means to live the BLU culture. She reminds us that creativity is not just about having new ideas. It is also about being resourceful, staying open, and finding ways to make the experience better for our members and our team.

Congratulations, Makenna, on being our September Thrive Award recipient. We are grateful for the energy, creativity, and heart you bring to BLU every day.
