Prior to being named to her current position in January 2020, Wilson served as Region Two director, overseeing the agency’s operations in Salt Lake, Summit, and Tooele counties.

She also worked as Region One director, Region Two deputy director, pre-construction director, Region Two program manager, Region Two traffic operations engineer, and project manager.

Wilson is a licensed professional engineer and holds a degree in civil engineering from Utah State University.
