The Kundiman team continues to grow. This past spring, we welcomed two new staff members: Saifa Khan as Development Assistant and Nereida Trujillo as Finance & Operations Director.
Saifa Khan (she/her) is a second-generation Bangladeshi American born and raised in Queens, New York. Saifa believes in education accessibility and storytelling as a tool for empowerment. She holds a B.A. in Communication Studies from Macaulay Honors College at Baruch College and has previously worked with nonprofits 826NYC and Fera Foundation. Saifa first joined Kundiman in 2021 as the CUNY Executive Assistant to the Executive Director and returns this year as Development Assistant.
Nereida Trujillo (she/her) has worked in administration and operations in the design and architecture space for over 10 years, holding positions at Bjarke Ingels Group, Asymptote Architecture, and Leyden Lewis Design Studio. As the Finance & Operations Director, she is excited to bring her experience to the nonprofit sector with an organization that supports poets and amplifies Asian American voices.
