Disney Star Caroline Sunshine Joins The White House As Press Assistant

Sunshine, a California-born actress, is probably best known for playing Tinka Hessenheffer in the Disney television series Shake It Up from 2010 to 2013. Other parts she’s played include Barbara Winslow in the 2010 comedy Marmaduke and Sylvie Garrett in Lifetime’s television film Mommy, I Didn’t Do It.

 

However, Sunshine has also worked as a political operative over the years. A White House official listed off her credentials in a statement to CNN: “Caroline Sunshine was a White House intern. In college, she was involved with the American Enterprise Institute and an active member of her school’s Model United Nations team. Prior to her internship at the White House, Caroline interned for the Office of House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the College Republican National Committee and the California Republican Party.”
