I was born in Timmins, Ontario, home town of Shania Twain.

I was raised in Toronto and Picton Ontario and used to live a few doors down from Bobby Hall’s farm in Picton, Ontario.

After graduating from Grade 13, I decided to move to Quebec City to study Translation and Business at Laval University. I remained in Quebec City for 7 years, ran my own Translation company and also worked as ESL Instructor and Interpreter at Berlitz Language Institute.

I was eventually pulled into technology sales and moved to Ottawa, Kingston, Vancouver and eventually Victoria where I held numerous leadership roles with Canon and Ricoh before becoming a Financial Advisor and Realtor.

In 2014 following the sudden passing of my Father, I returned to Ottawa and worked as Regional Sales Manager for ADT securities until they restructured and laid off all their top executives and was bought by Telus. I then decided to return to work as a Financial Advisor.

In May 2020, I relocated to Halifax as a Financial Advisor. I had been coming to Halifax to visit a friend every month for over a year.

In December 2020, I retired as a Financial Advisor and incorporated Atlantic Business Solutions Inc so I could provide affordable and cost-effective POS Point Of Sale Systems to businesses in Atlantic Canada and coast to coast. What started as a hobby 12 years ago is now my full time passion.  

I recently expanded and now offer Quick Business Loans in Canada and the US up to $1,000,000 and office equipment in Halifax HRM:

Photocopiers, printers, shredders, mailing equipment, laptops (all installed , set and serviced by qualified Sharp technicians)

Telus Smart Security Systems for businesses and homes through Atlantic Security & Automation Partners (ASAP). 

 When not working and playing, I am a Radio Host for 97.5 CIOE FM where I host Money Matters with Mark Giguère where I discuss a variety of financial topics with my guests to educate our audience and help my guests promote their professions.

 I enjoy golfing, cycling, kayaking, fitness, hiking, playing cribbage, chess, darts and travel. 

 I enjoy helping others and am always available to offer a hand and invite you or anyone you know to a free consultation. 

Thanks for listening!

Bicknell's Thrush field work sounds like a dream job for those who love extreme, dense forest conditions. Bears, moose, getting thwacked in the face with branches...utter bliss for the diehard biologists!   

For most people though, those conditions are less than ideal. This makes learning about the Bicknell's Thrush quite challenging. How do we track the population of such an elusive bird species? How do we protect it, when many people don't even know it's there?

Amy-Lee shares with us the joy of studying this drab but loveable bird in the forests of the Maritimes provinces.

Dive deeper into Bicknell's Thrush and the joys of field work here.

Amy-Lee mentioned that even simple actions like drinking Bird Friendly Certified Coffee can help this species. Get yours here!  10% of your purchase from Birds and Beans goes towards supporting this podcast and bird conservation in Canada when you use the link.
