Taylor McAree, SHRM-CP, CRPS-A

Taylor McAree, SHRM-CP, CRPS-A, is a SHRM Certified Professional and Certified Recovery Peer Specialist who serves as Director of Human Resources at Riverside Recovery of Tampa, where she has been part of the team for six years. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business with a concentration in Human Resource Management from Capella University, and she brings a background in hospitality management and a project-oriented, experience-focused approach to her work.

Taylor believes that quality care starts with supported employees. When the team has the right tools, resources, and support, they are better able to be present for clients and to provide strong, consistent care. That philosophy guides how she builds and leads Riverside’s people-focused programs.

Her passion for this field is also personal. Taylor is in recovery herself and has family members in recovery, and she is deeply committed to the ongoing journey it takes to sustain it. Recovery has shaped who she is today, teaching her resilience, gratitude, and the importance of supporting others through life’s challenges, lessons that influence both her personal life and how she leads professionally.

Outside of work, Taylor enjoys sitting in the sun and spending time with her family.
