Randi grew up and went to school in New Jersey. She was always interested in art but was introduced to community arts when, for a college class, she became a mentor for an after-school theater program at a city elementary school.  She fell in love and soon after graduation landed a position at a small community arts center, where she did a bit of everything.  After a couple years, she and her then-boy friend / now-husband decided to start over in a new city and chose San Francisco.  Without jobs or a place to live, they packed up their car and drove across the country to their new home.  Five years later, Randi has continued in nonprofit arts and currently works in fundraising at San Francisco Opera.  She was naturally led to EAP to help clarify the next step in her career trajectory.
