Olena's story

Olena Nicks has served as a public servant for several years, holding various roles throughout her career. However, her friends and family will first tell you that she has never forgotten where she came from or whom she is fighting for.

Before graduating from Uniondale High School, Olena began her service to our community, working as a Teen Advocate for Planned Parenthood, providing comprehensive education to help prevent and reduce teen pregnancy and STD rates. She later took the next step in serving the community by joining the Uniondale Fire Department. Olena has served as President of the Uniondale Public Library, the first woman Captain of Manor Company 3 of the Uniondale Fire Department, and assisted many other community civics in her spare time.

Outside of her public service, Olena has financial analytic experience in both the public and private sectors - managing budgets of over $70 million. Olena attended undergrad at CUNY Baruch, receiving her bachelor's degree in business operations and an MBA from American University.

Olena is standing up for our families and being the voice they need. She promises that politics will no longer be as usual and will lead the fight to unify the legislature, boost housing, increase quality of life, and provide safety to all residents.

Olena knows that working together is the best way to get results.

Olena's understanding of the working-class needs comes from her humble upbringing. Olena was raised in a blue-collar family in Uniondale. At an early age, Olena jumped into the workforce to assist her household make ends meet. Like many other families throughout Nassau County, Olena works two jobs and owns a small business. She has seen firsthand the opportunities to improve The County and her district. Olena is ready to make an impact that will benefit all residents.

Olena is deeply committed to a brighter future for Nassau County.

Committed to change in our county, Olena Nicks has set her standards high, and will not stop fighting until a proper balance has been reached.
