When Amy Mcdonald calls a client, the first thing she wants to know is how their grandchildren are doing, or whether they’ll be able to spend much time out at the lake this summer. She knows all of these little details because of how closely she listens during every conversation – the kind of listening you can only do when you are genuinely interested in the people around you.

Creating these kinds of connections is her favourite part of her job.

Amy has always had a big heart, which is why her previous career was in foster and respite care. Many of the children she looked after had complex needs, and she spent a lot of time organizing calendars and attending medical appointments. As an executive assistant, her big heart makes a huge difference in people’s lives through the thoughtfulness and consideration that she shows both her colleagues and clients. She doesn’t miss anything.

That’s another thing people notice right away about Amy: she has a keen attention to detail. She approaches meetings and emails with the same fervent focus that she brings to her client calls, and there isn’t a word, number, or punctuation mark that escapes her notice. She is currently working to become a licensed assistant, and looks forward to expanding her role at Marr McInes & Associates. 

She’s also always ready with a quick smile and a kind word. She knows that talking about money can be stressful, but she wants to make each interaction as enjoyable as possible. 

She’s the same way outside of the office, too – she loves organizing fun activities for her family, cooking for them and, when the weather is nice, building bonfires on their acreage just outside of Winnipeg.

Every day is an opportunity to turn the quotidian into something sweet and memorable.

She has currently completed the accreditation necessary to become a licensed assistant, and is excited for the new challenges brought on by this change.
