Hi everyone! My name is Nadia Fazio-Wigley, and I’ve had the privilege of working as a Clinical Nursing Instructor at Brock University for the past 16 years. I graduated from McMaster University in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and have been practicing as a nurse for nearly 20 years, with a focus in Paediatrics and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
I’m excited to be joining the bargaining team and am fully committed to listening to the voices of my fellow Unit 4 members. I will do my very best to represent your interests with dedication and integrity throughout the bargaining process.

Amanda Singer
I am Amanda Singer and have been a Clinical Nurse Instructor since 2013 and am the Lead Steward for Unit 4. I completed my MScN at D’Youville University in Buffalo, NY completing a placement at Brock which is how I was introduced to the CNI role here. I began my role in the union as the Unit 4 Steward and became the Lead Steward partway through the 24/25 year. This is my first time on the bargaining committee and I look forward to helping CNIs get the best Collective Agreement we possibly can!
