At 22, she moved to the UK where she earned her Master’s Degree in Media and Cultural Politics.She spent three years in England and developed a love for travel that she’s never been able to shake. She moved to San Francisco and continued her career in Commercial Banking with Wells Fargo where she met Nick Ray – they quit their jobs in 2015 to travel around the world for 1.5 years; this was when they first visited Nepal and Ama Ghar. They fell in love with Nepal, the mountains and the children, and they came back a second time before they left Asia and a third time in November 2018. She currently works remotely on the partnerships team at Rippling and resides in the Lake Tahoe area. Andi is thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of an organization that does amazing work and with whose mission she aligns so closely.
