Meet Emma

Age: 16
Allergic to: tree nuts
Favorite magazines: Teen People, InStyle, People, Bon Appetit, Gourmet
Loves: field hockey, tennis, figure skating

What she has learned about managing her food allergy:
“In the past year I have learned the importance of raising food allergy awareness. Being part of the FAAN Teen Advisory Group has inspired me to get involved in my community. Increasing awareness has multiple benefits. I help myself because I am finally able to open up to others about my food allergy, and I help others with food allergies by educating people on the importance of safety.”
