Corrine Shell

Associate Director of Operations

“I’ve been lucky to have the opportunity to experience a lot of personal and professional growth at Sunrise. I started at another community as resident care coordinator, and in 2009, completed a training program which led to my current role as executive director at Sunrise of Sacramento, where I’ve been working for the past six years. I also support three other communities in the Sacramento region.

Sunrise has allowed me to develop long-term relationships with residents, families, and team members. Knowing that my company’s values are aligned with my own gives me great job satisfaction.

Something that is really special for me is spending the holidays with our residents. This is such a celebratory time of year, and it’s great to help bring that joy to our seniors. 

In my spare time, I like to camp, hike, and spend time with my siblings, nieces, and nephews.”
