Val Baldugo got her start in the senior living industry in 2009 when she joined Sunrise as a Care Manager and later became a Medication Care Manager. After 3 years, Val had the opportunity to explore other disciplines in senior living and during her hiatus, she worked as an Activity Director, Sales & Marketing Manager, and became RCFE-certified. In 2018, Val jumped at the opportunity to return home to Sunrise as the Assisted Living Coordinator. In her free time, she enjoys family time with her husband and their miniature dachshund, Kamatis.
John Doyle joined Sunrise of Oakland Hills in 2012 and has always been eager to learn and find ways to better serve our residents. He first realized he had a passion for serving seniors while working at the Sacramento Airport, where he assisted disabled and senior passengers to their flights. He began his career at Sunrise doing laundry, and quickly fell in love with the environment and the residents. He made his transition to Concierge and Activities Assistant before being promoted to Activities and Volunteer Coordinator. John comes from a close-knit family, loves people, enjoys trying new things, but most importantly loves helping others find joy.
