Oliver Kaiden

I joined NYSEC in January 2024 after witnessing the continued polarization of the country following the removal of then Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. I couldn't stand for this polarization anymore, and joined NYSEC to teach students how to have meaningful and respectful conversations. Dylan and I have worked side-by-side over the past few years, creating various sessions and the NYSEC Toolkit. Apart from NYSEC, I'm a diehard Mets fan who watches all 162 games, an avid skier who spends all winter on the slopes, and an umpire in my local little league.
