A former OUA Women of Influence Award recipient and three-time First Team OUA All-Star, Briana De Souza was a cornerstone of Carleton Women’s Soccer during her time as a Raven. Now based in Toronto, she has built a successful career in IT, focusing on digital technology transformation for financial institutions.
"Being a student-athlete taught me invaluable leadership and teamwork skills that I carry into my professional life. Leading as a captain helped me understand how to empower others while also stepping back to listen and support. Learning to balance ambition with self-care has been one of my greatest lessons."
"Beating Ottawa U for the first time in program history with a dominant 4-1 victory. It was a defining moment for our program, proving that we could compete with the best."
"I’d love to see stronger alumni engagement, both in mentorship and fundraising efforts, to enhance the student-athlete experience. Eventually, I hope we can establish a WSOC Alumni Scholarship to support future generations of Ravens."
