Our Thrive Award recognizes team members who bring our Values in Action to life every day. These awards celebrate those who Demonstrate Love, Build Trust, Embrace Creativity, Display Perseverance, and Inspire Faith through the work they do and the impact they have on others.
This month, we're proud to recognize Adelina Keshishian, Wellness Coordinator, as our July Thrive Award recipient for exemplifying our value of Displaying Perseverance.
Since joining BLU on March 16, Adelina has approached every opportunity with determination, curiosity, and a genuine desire to make a difference. Drawing on her background in hospitality, operations, project management, and customer experience, she has quickly become a trusted member of the team, bringing exceptional organizational skills and a solutions-focused mindset to everything she does.
Health and Wellness Manager Jaime Lane shared:
"Since joining BLU, she has quickly made an impact. She jumped right in, helping us get organized, catch up, and improve processes with her incredible efficiency and strong organizational skills. She has a natural curiosity and love for technology and learning, always looking for ways to make things better and more efficient. Even more importantly, she has a genuine passion for teaching, helping others, and making a difference. She has been a wonderful addition to the BLU team, and I look forward to watching her continue to grow within our company and positively impact the lives of both our members and her teammates. Congratulations on being our Employee of the Month; very well deserved!"
Assistant Manager Tracy Kim has also seen Adelina's commitment to continuous improvement firsthand:
"One thing I've really noticed is that she doesn't just check things off a list. She's always thinking about how we can do things better. She asks great questions because she truly wants to understand the reason behind what we're doing, not just how to do it. That kind of curiosity and initiative is something you don't see every day, and it's one of the reasons she's made such a positive impact on our team."
Displaying perseverance is about more than pushing through challenges; it's about maintaining a positive attitude, seeking opportunities to improve, and consistently investing in the success of those around you. Adelina embodies these qualities every day through her willingness to learn, her commitment to excellence, and her passion for helping both teammates and members thrive.
Congratulations, Adelina, on being our July Thrive Award recipient. We look forward to seeing all you'll accomplish in the years ahead.
