She is a graduate of Holland Hall School and Baker University, with a bachelor’s degree in biology.
Prior to marriage and family, Randi worked in both the news and traffic departments at KVOO Radio and then at St. John Medical Center where she used her training from University of Louisville in medical technology and clinical pathology.
