Annie Parayadipura

Development Coordinator
The Center

A lifelong language learner and cultural connector, I thrive at the intersection of communication, community, and global engagement. Having studied Spanish for five years and now diving into Portuguese as my fourth language, I see every new tongue as a bridge to deeper understanding and empathy. This same curiosity fuels my work with ESOL students, where I’ve learned that teaching is as much about listening and adapting as it is about guiding.

My nonprofit journey has been both rewarding and eye-opening, from supporting survivors and newcomers at the International Rescue Committee in Miami to coordinating high-profile programs and summits with Indiaspora as the Global Programs Coordinator. Along the way, I discovered a consistent truth: the most lasting impact begins within your own community and expands outward.

Whether it’s mobilizing resources, orchestrating events, or crafting stories that inspire, I bring equal parts compassion, structure, and creativity to the work I do. For me, the thread connecting it all is simple: empowering people, amplifying voices, and building meaningful connections across borders.
