 Hi, UCP Community! We thought it would be fun to check in with UCP’s Anna Williams, after 11 months on the job as UCP Oregon’s Accounting Specialist. As many of you will remember, Anna joined UCP in 2023, replacing Janet Fromdahl, who had been at UCP Oregon for 10 years. Here’s what Anna has to say after 11 months on the job. What Are Your Favorite Parts of the Job? Aside from amazing spreadsheets? I actually really love that I'm in a position to support others, and I enjoy working with this team. I may not work directly with customers, but I relish making things as effortless as possible for those that do. What Are Your Interests? I love to spend time with my family (on both sides of the pond), and to travel when I get the chance. My favorite spot in the world so far is Cambodia, with New Zealand in close second. I also dabble in yoga, some craftiness, baking, enjoy a good book, and like to nerd out on the nuances of language. What Advice Would You Share with a New UCP Employee? Don’t spin your wheels when you can ask the team--somebody usually knows, or knows who does. It’s a safe space and I’ve found everyone to be wonderful! Embrace the journey!  It's October, and you know what that means... fall leaves, cooler weather, and NDEAM!
