Taylor De Souza

Office Administrator

With a strong foundation in administration, talent acquisition, and client support, Taylor brings a passion for organization and people-centered work to her role as ALIVE Outdoors’ Office Administrator. Her journey spans several sectors—from educational institutions to large corporations—where she honed her skills in managing internal systems, coordinating recruitment efforts, and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations. Taylor’s always found fulfillment in creating clarity out of complexity and delivering thoughtful, detail-oriented support that keeps teams thriving.

Following earning her Bachelor’s and Master’s from Queen’s University and after a few years in the corporate world, Taylor began seeking something different—an opportunity that would challenge her both personally and professionally, while aligning with her values. ALIVE Outdoors offered that and more. Although her role is behind the scenes, she is energized knowing that her work helps create life-changing outdoor experiences for youth. Supporting instructors, managing trip logistics, and staying one step ahead of the details gives her a deep sense of purpose.

When she’s not organizing databases or managing paperwork, you’ll likely find Taylor either outside (hiking, running, camping, gardening, playing soccer or tennis) or inside curled up on the couch with her cat, Ziggy, watching her favourite show (The Office). Taylor loves helping others in reaching their goals and feels lucky to be part of a team that shares that spirit every day.
