Deirdre O'Handley

Deirdre lives in Stoney Creek, Ontario, but grew up spending summers on the shores of Lake Huron, where she still loves to escape with family whenever she can. As client services team lead at Adventure Canada, she helps guide the team that supports travellers from the moment they book to the day they set sail (and beyond). Whether answering questions, sending key information, or managing behind-the-scenes details, Deirdre is all about making sure travellers feel prepared and excited for their journey.

With a background in hospitality, guest services, and expedition travel, she draws on a strong foundation in customer care to support her team and travellers alike. Since joining Adventure Canada, Deirdre has focused on building strong team connections and ensuring the tools and systems are in place to help the team deliver the best experience to every traveller.

Outside of work, Deirdre loves spending time in nature, especially near water or deep in the woods. If she's not at her desk or off on an adventure with her kids, she's probably out getting (intentionally) lost in the forest.
