Eimi Olson-Kikuchi

Development Manager

Eimi (she/her) joined the U.S. team in 2019 as Development Associate. In 2022, she became NYF’s Development Manager to support the organization’s growing fundraising efforts.

Eimi grew up in Japan and attended an international school, where she developed an appreciation for diversity in culture, race, and life experiences. She earned degrees in English Literature and Environmental Design & Urbanism in Developing Countries at the University of California, Berkeley, and soon after graduation, found NYF to be the perfect start to grow into a career working in the non-profit sector.

Eimi is particularly passionate about NYF’s partnerships with local communities in Nepal, and is excited to support programs that give agency to Nepali individuals. She strives to bring a decolonial approach to her communication and development strategies on the U.S. team.
