From War Zones to Boardrooms to Purpose
Every client I serve is a reminder of why I do this work.
About The Amela Approach™
I've lived more than one life.
I know what it means to start over — to rebuild from a place most people can't imagine. That experience lives in me. It shaped how I see money, what security actually means, and the weight of the decisions I help people make every day. It's also why I've spent 7+ years on the Board of Directors of Refugee Girls Worldwide.
I spent more than two decades at TD Bank.
Not on the edges — at the centre of it. From Financial Advisor on the branch floor to Senior Manager driving enterprise strategy, running a $35M portfolio, and shaping how one of Canada's largest banks reached its clients. I hold an MBA from Ivey Business School at Western University. I earned a Branch Compliance Officer designation and became licensed in Investment Funds in Canada. I understood the machine. And I understood something most clients never get told: the products being offered to you aren't always designed to serve you. They're designed to serve the institution.
So in 2025, I left — to build something better.
The Amela Approach™ is that something. Full independence. Access to over 50 Financial companies. No quotas. No preferred shelf. No obligation to anyone but you. I work with Ontarians who are done guessing about their finances and ready to build something intentional. What drives me isn't a commission. It's purpose. It always has been.

How I show up for every client
Honesty before everything. I'll tell you what I actually think — including when something isn't right for you. That's not how most advisors operate. It's how I do.
Strategy, not sales. Every recommendation starts with your goals, your situation, and your life. Not a product catalogue.
Education is part of the job. I want you to understand your finances — not just trust me blindly. An informed client makes better decisions. That's good for everyone.
The long game. I'm not here for the transaction. I'm building a relationship that evolves with you — new job, new home, growing family, retirement. I'm still here.
