She is always seeking to expand her thinking in new ways. Over the years, she has actively participated in various organizations dedicated to connecting people with nature. This includes serving on the boards of Wauhatchie Forest School and Wild Ones: Chattanooga Chapter, as well as earning Wild Ones Native Plant and Master Gardener certifications. She proudly served on the committee for Reflection Riding’s Framework for the Future and was thrilled to support the organization’s vision of engaging, educating, inspiring, and connecting with future generations of nature enthusiasts. Currently, Randi is working towards earning a Southern Appalachian Naturalist Certification through the Tremont Institute in the Smokies.
Randi discovered the beauty of Reflection Riding and felt a special connection to its land when her son attended the summer camp program over 12 years ago. Since then, she has spent almost every weekend hiking on the RR trails, capturing native plants and lichen on the camera through a zoom lens, escaping into the quiet of the beautiful land that surrounds this special place, and promoting the Trailwise partnership program between her former school community and Reflection Riding. Randi is extremely excited to connect with the community and help cultivate lifelong learners and stewards of the natural world through the many immersive learning opportunities and experiences at Reflection Riding!
