Caroline Sunshine: From The Disney Channel to... The White House?!?

[Gimbiya]

For the past several weeks, the Donald Trump administration has been under a set of storm clouds.

(Or Stormy clouds, some might say.)

But a bit of sunshine is officially on the way, news outlets surprisingly report. Literally!

That's because Caroline Sunshine, a former Disney Channel star, is now a member of the White House press team.

The 22-year old recently worked as an intern at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue -- but she's best known to entertainment fans for having starred opposite Zendaya as Tinka Hessenheffer in Shake It Up, a Disney Channel series about teen dancers that ran from 2010 to 2013.

She was also in the 2010 movie Marmaduke, among other roles.

Said White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters to CNN in a statement about Sunshine:

"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."

In other words: It makes sense that Caroline Sunshine would currently be trending because you don't see this sort of career transition very often...

but make no mistake.

She has earned her spot. She has experience.

Sunshine doesn't exactly have the ear of President Donald Trump; not yet at least.

She works as a press assistant, whose main job is to provide administrative support for the entire White House communications department.

This includes press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders (who has her own assistant), three deputy press secretaries and three assistant press secretaries.

The ex-actress is pretty far down on the administrative rung, but at least she's starting to climb the ladder.

Here is a photo of Sunshine from her stint on the Disney Channel:

For the most part, press assistants send out White House news releases... wrangle the media, taking them from one event to another... and set up briefing calls.

Sunshine won't have access to classified documents or anything, but she'll play a role in making sure the White House machine continues to function everyday.

Caroline has not yet commented on her new role or on the attention she has received as a result of it.

Aside from the credits listed above, she has appeared in such films as The Outfield, Go Four Broke and Mommy, I Didn't Do It.
