Emily Nozick

My experience as a lawyer in the IAP process required active listening, alertness, adaptability, approachability, and trustworthiness. Following my practice as a lawyer I had two children with multiple anaphylaxis food allergies, environmental allergies, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and severe eczema. There have been several hospital visits, meetings with allergists, dermatologists, ENT's, and family doctors. This required patience, perseverance, persuading my children to sit through 6 hour food challenges and be given multiple needles, communication, and empathy. If approved as a member of the ADR Institute of Manitoba, I believe that, with the combination of my background and attending 40 hours of training at Mediation Services in Winnipeg I will be an effective and credible mediator.

I have been an active member of the Parents Association at Gray Academy of Education.  For the past two years I have acted as vice president of the Parents Association.  In this role I have planned regular parent meetings, added book club meetings, a winter skating event, a school dance, and planned the Fun fair for the school.  I have also volunteered my time for holidays, and organized teacher group gifts.
