Annie Vasishta

Annie Vasishta (she/her) is an educator, community organizer, and most of all, a student of life. Moving to the United States from Punjab, India at a young age, as the daughter of immigrants, Annie connects her roots from her motherland to the community of South Hayward, where she grew up. Growing up as a low-income, first generation, woman of color, Annie finds it important to give back to the community that raised her. Vasishta believes the youth are our future and the best way to love her community is to serve the youth.

For her, the commitment to social justice is not in one movement but in the people we belong in community with each and every day. Professionally, she has brought this commitment to her work in education non-profits such as City Year and Teach For America. She has also brought her lens of equity to mission-driven startups such as Landed and Beam Impact. She's excited to continue to grow as a people person in her role at The Primary School.
