My favorite part of the job is my team. They are absolutely incredible people with hearts of gold. It is such an honor to work with them and share in our mission to champion quality of life for all seniors.

The best part of working at Sunrise is the opportunity to build relationships with people and make a difference in the lives of so many. It fills me with joy and satisfaction to have such meaningful work.

Chris Lyngle  

Dining Services Director

“I enjoy talking our residents about food; what they like, what they grew up with, what they used to make, what region of food they enjoy. Of course, I enjoy serving them the best food possible. At Sunrise, I get to play with food and see our residents enjoy the meals every day. Everyone is so nice when their stomach is full! Food is life. 

In my spare time, I like to sit on my boat, fish and work in my yard. I like to go to thrift stores and find a hidden gem and add to my collections.”

“Before joining our team at Sunrise, I worked as a therapeutic recreation specialist at a state adult psychiatric hospital.  Before that, I worked for Emeritus in South Carolina as the Activity Director in Assisted Living for 5 years.

My favorite part of my job is planning quality activities and seeing the residents happy and involved! At Sunrise of Holladay, the staff is irreplaceable!  Everyone is a team player, intelligent, kind, loving and really good at their job.  It’s a really nice work atmosphere.

Outside of work, I like to be active, spend time with my very funny little girl and learn new things with her.”

"I have worked with Sunrise for 8 months. I worked at Silverado for 4 years as a floor nurse and 3 months as the director of the rehab unit.

My favorite part of my job is working with the residents and helping them with whatever they need. I love the conversations I get to have and the things I learn from each one.

Sunrise’s culture is absolutely amazing! The team work, and people that are employed are quality people and I have loved getting to know each employee.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family. My two year old is so fun and we get to do lots of fun things with her!"

Reminiscence Coordinator

I have been with Sunrise for two years, part of which I was care manager and the rest as Life Enrichment Manager.

My favorite part of the job is looking for and finding ways to make a difference for each resident, every day. It is such a joy to be part of their journey!

The best part about Sunrise is the mission of Sunrise and the Team Member Credo to make the best work environment. I love that we give the highest level of resident centered care and look out for each other too.

In my spare time I love being outside hiking and camping with my husband, children and grandkids. I enjoying sewing and crochet. Going to movies or watching one on Netflix is a great go to if there’s a bit of down time too."
