Joy Wilson
Joy Officer - HR Manager, SHRM-SCP

As the "Joy Officer" heading up Human Resources and serving the entire UDP team, Joy keeps the day to day office running smoothly, while maintaining a healthy, productive, and joyful company environment. She is steadfast in her commitment to keep everyone's work aligned with UDP's core values and purpose.

Joy graduated from college with an Art degree and K-12 teaching certification. After a short stint of teaching, she traded the classroom for the stage and spent over seven years as a professional singer/songwriter/guitarist. She then spent 15 years within high level, global creative agencies, each with varying specialties in design, advertising, and architecture, before finding her happy place at UDP in 2018. She is inspired by UDP’s commitment to community and sustainability.

Joy loves running marathons, albeit at a snail’s pace. She spends her free time advocating for racial and gender equity with Basic Rights Oregon, and serving on a national council for Human Rights Campaign.
