After high school, Aimee studied at the Ontario College of Art & Design. She graduated at the age of 23 and became a Graphic Designer. One year later, she entered a modelling competition and won the title. Later she competed in her first beauty pageant. Shortly thereafter, she moved to Hong Kong in 2005.

She married Moses Chan in June 2013. The couple have three children: sons Aiden Joshua Chan (born December 4, 2013) and Nathan Lucas Chan (born February 26, 2015) and daughter Camilla Chan (born April 27, 2016).
